[QUOTE="Ironbutterfly, post: 699895, member: 19951"] I've been wondering how you all are doing. What about son getting a bike for transportation? My son did that for a long time. Just want to say- I know your worries and you want his life to be "a certain way", for him to become a man and responsible person in society. But alas, it may take time, it may take some failures on his end before he gets there. If I hadn't let go of my son back in January when the drama and stress about killed me, he wouldn't have made the decision to move out of state, move down south, to where he finally found his own way, a way out of the drama he had been living for 16 years. He was evicted every other month, lived in a dirty basement, shared a room, couched surfed, slept on a porch in winter, slept in a shed, in places unimaginable to us. I had to let go of my dreams for him- and let him find his own way. If I hadn't let go, he' d be in jail right now because of the people he was living with, hanging around with. He got tired of that life and broke away. I hope this happens to your son. It's not going to be easy- but you do have to let go of him and let him find his way. I kept trying to do it my way to keep him safe, to alieve my worries and fears, but really, I was a co-conspirator in his unhealthy choices. [/QUOTE]
