Are you overly involved in your adult child's life?

[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 643906, member: 17720"] Thanks for asking, RE. I had a bit of a realization when you asked where I find myself now, that my first thoughts went to how [U][B]I [/B][/U]am, rather than how my son is. That's a big change from how things have been. I think I feel a little more grounded, rather than being in the clouds when he is doing well and in the cellar when he's floundering. The middle ground turns out to be a much more peaceful place. But I also have to honestly say that right now in terms of difficult child's situation, things are better than they were, so these are easier times in terms of suffering. I love what you said about picking up your own life after a really long vacation from it. Sometimes I feel like my life has been in a holding pattern for a very long time... [/QUOTE]
