[QUOTE="witzend, post: 321054, member: 99"] I want you to know that I am only offering my opinion and that I understand you don't have to take my advice. I am on the outside looking in and I don't have to live your life or Matt's life, so it's probably easy for me to armchair quarterback. I think you need to let the control go. I think Matt will hate you forever if you don't, and that Matt will never be anything other than an incapable little boy if you don't. I also feel that you will never be happy if you don't let go of his problems and start working personally on the issue of why you have such a strong need to fix Matt. I'm sure I've made you angry, and that wasn't my point. In so far as what is going on with you and Matt it looks like a train wreck to me and I would never forgive myself for not offering advice that I felt would help when what I see is two people who are so interested in what the other is doing wrong that they are destroying their own lives. I care about you and want you to be happy. You can be angry if you want. I expect you will be. Just so we're understood, I'm only saying these things because your posts honestly scare me to death for [I]you. [/I]I'm not going to debate it with anyone. It's not a conclusion that I came to this very instant, it's well thought out. I don't care if people abuse me for offering my opinion. I think my words speak for themselves, and there's need no explanation or justification. Just that we love you and we want you to be healthy. [/QUOTE]
