[QUOTE="JayPee, post: 754264, member: 23405"] Tanya Thanks for sharing your story. It helps keep me be strong. Knowing that it’s not just my sons who say and do the same things gives me comfort. The only true freedom from all this is when we can finally accept the situation and not feel we are responsible to fix their problems. That’s when the change can begin in us. I say this all the time as affirmation to myself that WE ARE the ones who have to be the change. We cannot sit back and wait for adult children to change to be happy. Work thru the guilt, sadness and disappointments but get rid of the notion that you should only have peace and happiness if adult children with issues are doing ok. If we waste our lives by putting it on hold until this happens we will possibly have wasted our lives away. [/QUOTE]
