[QUOTE="Star*, post: 129186, member: 4964"] VIcky, You know when our kids get like this 'sometimes' detaching isn't the best thing...I think what you did by being there for him was a blend of good parenting, good friend, no nonsense advice/therapist. I understand ALL about domineering families of x's. They were enought to drive me to drink too - when they did it - it was okay - when I did it - I was a weak, worthless, idiot - who shouldn't drown her sorrows in a bottle. Yeeeeeah. (whatever) You did the best thing - you showed your son that when there is NO ONE else in his corner - you're there. Then you left (near impossible) but you did it - and that sent a VERY POWERFUL message to your son without knowing you even did. You said "Son I'm here, I love you, here's my advice and I'll be at home if you need to talk." Bravo lady - that's not detaching - that's parenting at it's very best. [/QUOTE]
