[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 621338, member: 1550"] Are you even sure she is a licensed therapist? Have you seen a certificate? Maybe she took a few online classes or maybe she is just lying to make herself seem as if she has credentials. The difference between support and enabling to me (and does not apply to anyone else...it is my personal dictionary ;) ): Support is emotional support, phone support, encouragment, suggestions that are met with thoughtfulness on difficult children part and always "I love you and know you can do this." Enabling is handing out any amount of money, paying for difficult children messes and toys, letting difficult child live with you rent free while he steals/lies/doesn't help around the house and is verbally abusive. To me, there is a BIG difference between enabling and support because support is free. girlfriend doesn't seem to know this. She talks about the support she gets from family, IF IT'S EVEN TRUE, in terms of what $$$ her family dished out to her. Not one word about how they were her cheerleaders, which is what support is for a man of your son's age.Loving support is free and doesn't require a donation. That is the MidwestMom Dictionary definition...lol ;) [/QUOTE]
