[QUOTE="kt4394, post: 688745, member: 20273"] I think that at 19 or at 15 (like my son), they need to be held accountable for their own decisions. I think that no matter how old they are, we as mothers want to do whatever we can to help them, to shield them from anything bad. But, we can't control their decisions. They have "hit bottom" themselves before they will stop, before they will change. I think that accepting that and detaching is so much harder than any other aspect of mothering that we have ever had to do. We are all in the same boat here, but we are so lucky to have each other for support. xo [/QUOTE]
