[QUOTE="Elsieshaye, post: 473742, member: 12928"] You know, some people never learn that. There's no cosmic rule that says that they have to. This is part of the whole process of becoming an independent person, and there's no timetable for that. Please don't let it make you soften your boundaries. This could take a very long time of you holding firm before he starts helping himself, not just a couple of weeks. (Also, his version of "helping himself" and yours may not match. You may not like what his independent life looks like, but it's his and he has to manage it. You can't fix it for him.) [/QUOTE]
