[QUOTE="KFld, post: 406774, member: 2442"] When you first start going through all of this there is a certain type of mourning. You will mourn the child you had all those hopes and dreams for, that you dreamed of becoming a doctor and now would be happy if they worked at Burger King! It's all part of the process. As far as what you should and shouldn't do for him, you have to follow your instincts. Just because you kicked him out, doesn't mean you can't help him when you feel he's making the right choices. I tell my difficult child that all the time. He hasn't lived with me in 6 years, since he was 18, and will never live me again, but I always tell him that as long as he's making good choices I will be here to support him emotionally, but when he's not I will back up for a while. I always remind him that I love him with my whole heart, but I will not love him to death. I find myself lately looking at all the babies and toddlers and wishing my difficult child was that age again and that we all had the chance to start over and see if his life would turn out any differently?? Have you tried alanon???? [/QUOTE]
