[QUOTE="DDD, post: 596820, member: 35"] I'm having an "ah hah" moment. Many of you have not been around for a decade or more but it has been THIRTEEN years since my precious kid fell off the edge. TODAY, officially, I wrote him a check for under three hundred dollars and said "Son...today you are a MAN and I am no longer your savior". I am still trying to wrap my head around the fact that I have, as of today, detached. Truly I do not know how to describe it. I love this messed up kid with my whole heart BUT as of today I must be through. I will no longer "save" him. I am determined to no longer "invest my soul in his life". Without a doubt today is the most profound day since I became a Mom in 1960. It is "beyond" weird. I so hope that I can move on with no burdens and responsibilities for my children or my grandsons. It's been a long road and I don't regret my choices at any stage. on the other hand...it is over. He knows I still love him! DDD [/QUOTE]
