[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 591443, member: 13542"] Hi MICHL, I'm really glad you're going to see a counselor for yourself, it's so helpful, in my opinion, to get professional help, or really, any support you can find and feel comfortable with. This is a tough situation for parents and finding the line between enabling and love is often wrought with so much confusion and fear. Perhaps your ex husband would be willing to attend counseling either with you or on his own so he can regain his life back. Sometimes our kids issues and/or illnesses hold us hostage...........and giving up our peace of mind and our lives for them is NOT the answer, it really keeps everyone stuck in the same situation. If you and your ex husband can learn the tools to detach, you can, perhaps, provide your difficult child with a united front so you can set strong boundaries which will insist that your son find his way out of the stagnation he is presently living in. There is a good article on detachment at the bottom of my post. I wish you success and peace and send you hugs............ [/QUOTE]
