[QUOTE="rlsnights, post: 407645, member: 7948"] Here's the thing CeeCee. If you now set clear boundaries with him and treat him like the adult that he is - you make room for that closeness to return. It won't look the same as it did when he was a boy, it will be a relationship between 2 adults. Because as long as he is dependent on you he will fight you because it's part of the normal developmental process. He needs you to be strong and push him out of the nest. Just my 2 cents. Many hugs - it's hard, I know. [/QUOTE]
