[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 714151, member: 15032"] I think once we realize that we as mothers cannot save them. We cannot make everything alright. We cannot fix them. Then we know we have to step away. It's like watching a horror movie only it's real. It is all so hard to accept because as moms we feel this is our job for life. I'm actually glad we sent our son to Florida when we did - in the hopes that he will figure this out now and not waste more time like he has already. He is actually better than he was at home. I have to keep reminding myself of that. It's such a slow and long process though. I've had to learn to live my life to be happy because if I wait for him to figure things out I will have wasted so many years. [/QUOTE]
