[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 618831, member: 17542"] They have a right to spend their money however they want to spend it, and so do you. Even if it makes no sense to anybody else. So you said you are done with the money. That is your right. They can decide what they will do, but what YOU do is really none of their business. And what THEY do is really none of your business. Isn't that great? I love that. I remember the first time I heard in Al-Anon: Mind your own business. I pooh-poohed that big-time. What, a silly playground shout-out, that would have any relevance in this very serious business of addiction and alcoholism with my precious SON? Of course, he was my business----he is MY SON. Guess what? Those four words hold great, great wisdom. It's taken me years to get it, but I get it now. And I love it. Now, what I am trying to learn is how to DO IT. Say less instead of more, to everybody. Let time take its time. [/QUOTE]
