[QUOTE="WiseChoices, post: 751691, member: 24254"] Copa, thank you so much!!!! I needed to hear all of that! It is good to know that son's attitude is age appropriate. I think you are right : he hates having to be home in an area he does not like, under our rules , without the means to support himself , and initially without a car that he lost due to MJ influence of himself and his friend whom he let drive. And he knows that is why he is home. He told my daughter he doesn't have a choice but to move home. So that all makes sense. I also appreciate hearing that he is just using this false statement to deal with his feelings .he does not actually feel unwelcome which would make me feel terrible. I so need to let myself off the hook. I want to be the perfect Al Anon who never slips up, never comments on her adult childrens' lives and I can't seem to be able to do it. My son is a good person. I tend to overreact to things and envision the worst. He is seeing a therapist now and he did get on medications for depression .He is helping around the house happily, does everything I ask, he has found a job , he has paid the insurance on his Grandfather's car and he is talking about moving to another state as soon as he has saved enough money . Thank you for helping me to move through my self imposed guilt. I do this a lot .I create my own suffering. [/QUOTE]
