[QUOTE="elizabrary, post: 743030, member: 11235"] The only thing I ever say in situations like this is, "Make sure you really consider everything involved in this." And I go on my way. My daughter never listens to any advice I try to give and it just makes her mad. The bottom line is this is his decision. Find something to keep you occupied and focus on [I]you[/I]. That's the best you can do. Read up on boundaries and enabling. The best definition I have read about enabling is doing something for a capable adult that they can do themselves. I think setting and enforcing health boundaries is one of the hardest things to do with adult children, but ultimately the healthiest for everyone. [/QUOTE]
