[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 176629, member: 1157"] I think it's well written, and good advice. I think you're in a tough spot, though... by getting in the middle of your difficult child and his girlfriend, it really does increase your own anxiety.. so please be aware of this. I've been there done that .. .and at some point, you have to step back and say, this is between the two of you ... the more you are drawn into it, the more YOU are going to suffer. You aren't responsible for his girlfriend's feelings or problems, any more than you are responsible for his. If she and her mom are calling you constantly about his actions? How can you possible take care of yourself and do what YOU need to do? Just food for thought. [/QUOTE]
