[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 707208, member: 15032"] Teriobe: I learned how to set healthy boundaries with my son through therapy. It doesn't mean you don't LOVE them. In fact, I think it means just the opposite. Our adult children NEED boundaries as much as we do! There is no room for guilt here. You only feel guilty if you let yourself. Therapy helped me change how I think and our son is doing much better since he's been on his own. We do help him financially right now by paying 2/3 of his rent but he is doing most things on his own now and NEVER would have grown if he were in our home. We probably saved his life by backing off. Sometimes you have to do the opposite of what you THINK you SHOULD do. I learned that on this forum and I am thankful. [/QUOTE]
