[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 619215, member: 17542"] I remember hearing in an Al-Anon meeting one day: "If you're more upset about things than your son is, then something is wrong." I was always the one upset. He wasn't. Now, he is the one upset and I am much more calm about it all. That is the way it should be. If HE isn't upset about his life, why should I be? Think about that for a minute in regards to yours. He has his life, and I have mine. I can't continue to be like a mosquito buzzing around his head (probably a better bug metaphor but I can't think of what it is right now...lol). I would buzz and buzz and buzz. He was just doing his thing. Now, he is buzzing because I say no. And I believe today, when he starts buzzing enough, maybe he will decide he doesn't like to buzz and change. (wasn't intending to be humorous but it is a bit humorous isn't it? Buzz, buzz... [/QUOTE]
