[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 740029, member: 19522"] I am glad you received a voicemail like this. I hope your son is turning a corner Tanya. You do have an army of warrior parents standing beside you. Each and every one knowing how this feels. I think this shift is so important on every level not only for us, but for our adult kids. Removing ourselves from their consequences frees them to take responsibility, frees us from the anxiety of being tangled up in an outcome we have no control over. This is a good rule to follow. In my experience, the questions and advice have been counterproductive. Less is more. Hopefully our adult kids will learn to grab their own lives back, as we do ours. You are going to be alright Tanya! Thank you for all you have shared, your loving support through these years has been a Godsend! (((Hugs))) Leafy [/QUOTE]
