[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 703811, member: 18958"] My son, Maisy, has many of the same issues as your son, and some more, too. He has now just turned 28. He is changing a bit now, maturing, some. Motivated to do what is necessary to stay near us. Some. I little bit. But when he was 23 I threw him out, because he was not doing one constructive thing to help himself. Right or wrong I did it. These young people have to decide themselves whether to sink or swim. And we have to bear it. For them and for ourselves. I know it is hard. It is still difficult for me. I intervene and try to control--way too much--and it blows up in my face. For right now, decide to lay off of yourself, for today. Read a mystery. Knit. Walk. Garden. Talk to friends at work, if you are at work. Breathe. Turn on music. Just stop the self-blame for today. Day by day. [/QUOTE]
