[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 437940, member: 6705"] Sweetheart... I read your post earlier, then came back to re-read it. I can't tell you what to do, of course. But... It seems to me that you have a pretty clear picture of your son. And I have to say, from hard-won lessons with Onyxx... Who hasn't even been in my life as long as Matt has in yours... Sometimes they don't hear everything, are very negative, and come across totally wrong. And you have to let them do it. Yes, you have to be prepared for the possibility of the absolute worst than can happen. But... He hasn't really been "alone" his entire life. He's got an [I]idea[/I] what it takes... But not the whole picture. And maybe he never will have the whole picture. But there are very successful people who don't see everything they should. Right now? You're reeling, from your Dad's death, the job thing, your sister, and to me it sounds like your Mom is pretty needy right now too. But you've got to live [I]your[/I] life - not theirs. :hugs: We're here for you, no matter what. [/QUOTE]
