[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 672617, member: 16024"] Hi, Greg, and welcome to the forum. We have all been where you are, to one degree or another. We have to try everything we can think of, to try to help our young adults get started on their lives. Many of us have paid their expenses, bought them things, paid their legal bills. Don't feel bad about that. We do that for ourselves as much as for our young adults. It is akin to the stages of grief, I think. Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance. We help, we push, we bargain, we do it ourselves, we say 'this is the last time' and then we finally start to let go and allow these young adults to live their lives on their own terms. It is a process. Don't feel bad about trying. Stay with us, Greg, as we all help each other. Apple [/QUOTE]
