[QUOTE="witzend, post: 410967, member: 99"] (Knowing that you are playing devil's advocate here, Step) Ah... there's the rub. No one's problems with their kids are ever done - all you can do is gracefully back off and let them be their own problems. Blow them off? Yes. Nothing she can do now? Probably. Nothing she can ever do? Maybe. Maybe not. Our only chance for them when they're gone and out of the house is to be the best "us" we can be. That means living a fulfilling life so that when and if they ever [I]really[/I] need our help we aren't too crippled by the past to do anything for them. [/QUOTE]
