[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 671754, member: 17542"] I'm so sorry. It sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders and you are setting boundaries. That is always a good thing for us in all relationships (especially with DCs) but you know they really don't like boundaries---especially new boundaries---at all and there will be a lot of pushback. It can be exhausting....but so can "helping" a Difficult Child who never takes over the reins for himself or herself. You have learned a lot, and perhaps you are ready to reclaim your own life? Our kids are grown (yours and mine). It's time for us to step back and focus on ourselves. I'm glad you have a good supportive husband and another child to focus on. Let that be your focus from now on. You have done everything you can do to help your grown sons launch. now it's up to them. Hang in there. We're here for you. [/QUOTE]
