[QUOTE="JKF, post: 622829, member: 12470"] To me tough love is letting my difficult child experience the natural consequences of his actions without jumping in to "save" him. In our situation, enabling is me allowing him to manipulate me without me calling him out on it. And detachment is me letting go of the guilt, anger, and sadness. It's me being able to love my son as he is even if I don't agree with his choices and actions. It's me being able to live my life peacefully knowing that I've done everything I could possibly do to help him. Sent using ConductDisorders mobile app [/QUOTE]
