[QUOTE="Weary Mother, post: 701863, member: 20487"] Thanks recoveringenabler, I do think I will write him a letter detailing my present situation, and do it with love. I do care about him, but must journey on and let him do the same for himself. I think at this point, as he has burned a lot of his bridges and he is getting older, he is now looking to me for some comfort, which I do understand and can give, but he has to now grow up, which is the place that his development stopped. He was using in his early twenties and late teens. So now for him, he has a lot of catching up on his maturity to do. At 48 that will be hard. I do sympathize. And I want to be there to give him moral support and encouragement, but then at times that line can blur and it becomes enabling, you know? [/QUOTE]
