[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 658694, member: 13542"] I think this is a good idea IAD. You've worked really hard for your son. He's doing well. He and his Dad are developing a connection now. It's time for you to take a back seat. As you step back, refrain from taking any action. Wait. In the time spent waiting, often the enabling tendencies subside. The thought that it is time to "take a back seat" to me, is an indicator of health and a step in a new direction. Perhaps have a family meeting with your husband and daughter enlisting their support in you taking a back seat, so all family members are aware of how you feel and they can now step in when necessary. You might want to communicate that to your son and his case workers too. You deserve this break. [/QUOTE]
