[QUOTE="in a daze, post: 684226, member: 15832"] I am grateful that he finally has a good relationship with us, especially his father. There was a lot of animosity between them for years. And it's nice that he wants to hang out with us. But it just tears me up inside that he has nothing to do on a Saturday night, and I have a feeling that if he had some people to hang out with he would be with them and not calling us up. And I accept that he will probably never get married, and I don't care if he dates or not. Precisely, Insane! He lives with a houseful of guys. Many have issues. He went to see the Star Wars Movie last month wth one of them. I was happy to hear this. And now we get this phone call again. I have discussed with my therapist, and she told me not to feel guilty, that it's on him if he wants to sit home on Saturday night. And maybe, having him hang with us every weekend is a form of "enabling". That is, we are in his comfort zone and he is not forced, or miserable enough to socialize with peers. And I wonder, is that improv therapy doing any good at all? I just want him to have a social life. I just want him to have a LIFE :(. [/QUOTE]
