[QUOTE="Suz, post: 47115, member: 29"] <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I am going to seek some counseling for me since it seems that everything I ever let go of has DEEP scratch marks in it. </div></div> ....deep scratches because you clung to it way too long perhaps? Robyn, I think getting counseling for yourself is an excellent idea particularly since you already know that you have a tendency to be co-dependent and enable behaviors. If your difficult child wants to be independent, he needs to be independent. Having Mom call him in sick? Sorry, but that is such a juvenile request that it made me laugh. He wants to be a man, he needs to act like one. Rob blew so many chances that he ended up homeless for several months....and it was through the winter, too. It was horrifying but it was something he had to go through in order to appreciate having a job and a home and working for a living. He still struggles but I know that I need to let him struggle if there is any chance for him to grow up to be a man of character. Hugs to you. I know this is hard. Suz [/QUOTE]
