[QUOTE="Suz, post: 244177, member: 29"] Susan, I wish for you the relief of understanding that detaching does not mean that you don't love your son. I love Rob with all of my heart. That said, I believe that one of the greatest gifts I've been able to give him is to let him learn from his mistakes and to take responsibility for them. To see him now, compared to where he was a few years ago brings me so much joy...and even better, it brings HIM a lot of joy. He is not perfect. He still makes mistakes. But he is proud of himself now and recognizes how far he's come, too- it's wonderful! Your son is 25. It is time that he is given that gift from you, too. The thread on things to say that has been so helpful for many of us is in our archives...and also here: [URL='http://www.conductdisorders.com/forum/showthread.php?t=685'][U][COLOR=#810081]http://www.conductdisorders.com/community/threads/list-of-things-to-say-when-detaching.685/[/COLOR][/U][/URL] Suz [/QUOTE]
