[QUOTE="klmno, post: 378439, member: 3699"] Ditto. I like that approach, too. MM didn't enable or become a victim, yet she told him where she stood and gave him the space to sort things out himself. This approach proved that she really loved him- she wasn't trying to just fill some dysfunctional need in herself. His path shows that he had to figure out where he was and what he really felt and wanted, and he took that space and did it. It takes longer and might be more painful, but you know you have something valid that way- not perfect- but genuine. I'm not sure yet how to translate that and incoporate it into life as a prent instead of a potential spouse but this is food for thought as I work on myself and still try to help my son. [/QUOTE]
