[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 342131, member: 1514"] Honey...mine is not a success story yet. My son still has some major problems. I am still guarded with him. I still have to use many of the lines we have here in the archives when he calls me wanting me to help save him from himself. Though he is doing that less and less over time. Lots of times now he just wants me to reassure him that he can do it for himself. Now its more like he just wants me here to kiss his fears away so he can go fight the dragons. Now he knows that I wont do anything that I dont want to do. I heard something that kind of clicked for me. "I will love him forever but I wont love him to death." I think when we do to much for these adult kids (or even older teen kids) we can actually be helping to "love them to death" in some cases. [/QUOTE]
