[QUOTE="nlj, post: 622784, member: 17650"] For me it has meant allowing my son to live his own life, make his own choices and deal with his own consequences, without trying to interfere and step in and solve all his problems or try and make him lead the life I think he should be leading. It's letting go of all those hopes and dreams I had when he was growing up, of what he would do with his life, and just accepting how things have turned out. It's actually more about loving him unconditionally now than it was before, as now I love him just the same but don't fret and judge and soul-search continually. It is what it is. He lives as he lives. I'm his mother just the same. [/QUOTE]
