[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 693300, member: 18516"] Sounds so simple when we say the words but acting on them can be difficult. One thing that really helped me was to accept that the life I wanted for my son was not the life he wanted. No matter how messed up his life is, it's his choice. Of course he wants to blame me for everything that is wrong with his life but I do not possess that kind of power. I have no control over his choices. Our d-c's do not want to listen and learn from us, they want to live their lives on their terms, that is until something goes wrong and they need help then they turn to us and of course want to dictate to us how we are to help them and even then they will find fault with it. I guess it just comes down to each of us getting so sick and tired of dealing with their chaos that we say enough is enough. [/QUOTE]
