[QUOTE="Star*, post: 436784, member: 4964"] Fact of the matter AHF - I'm right - just a little too late for me. lol. If I was as educated NOW as I should have been when my son was I would have been a lot better off and so would my son. I THANK GOD I listened to the women here for the things I did WHEN I DID - I didn't have anyone to turn to for help on the things we are all going through. Most of this stuff was HUGE TABU -and OM GOSH you must be raising the next Jeffrey Dahmer. When people like Suz, Fran, Witz, Pico, Deb, and others stepped up and gave me the flat skinny and said - NAH NAH NOoooooo and why? Then gave me their stories and HOW stepping away and allowing things to happen? And the courage to DO the things that felt wrong but were right? I knew---and I had a great phenominal example in my own ex husband who was SO incredibly babied by his Mother - that now at 56 years old? He's absolutely, totally, completely and utterly worthless. When I think about how she saved him, and babied him, saved him "Helped" him when NO ONE ELSE WOULD? I realize - she did him NO favors whatsoever because now she's dead, and he's a 56 year old man, that can't do ANYTHING for himself at all - no job, no home, no car, no license, no ability to get work, he's completely reliant on others, and the system to take care of him and currently in prison and happy that he's there because he has three meals a day and a roof over his head. very VERY sad indeed. He squandered his life. What a waste......and he left in his wake a lot of people, and a son that he tried to take down with him and destroy....Don't allow that to happen - ALLOW your son to figure things out for himself. Go and live your life and BE THE EXAMPLE of what happens to people WHEN THEY MOVE ON and rise above the junk that's handed to all of us on varying levels. [/QUOTE]
