[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 636123, member: 1550"] You know what? When moms or dads come on here with wayward eighteen year olds to maybe twenty-one (college age) I can understand when they break down sometimes and do stuff for them that is enabling as they are still[I][B] young[/B][/I] adults.But, Overhwhelmed, you and I have MIDDLE AGE MEN who are still acting like difficult children. If my son went to jail, and it's a miracle he has not, I woudl let him go but I sure wouldn't drive him. Even if he lived near me, if he needed a ride to court, he'd have to find his own ride. They have ways. If not, oh well. Natural consequences. Whose fault is it that he can't drive? The older my difficult child gets the less I find myself feeling sympathetic when he breaks down. We will be here for you no matter what you choose to do, however...at some time in his life...and in MY son's life...they will have to learn to live without us. Hugs to you!!!! Good luck! It is time for YOU to have a good life without this nonsense. [/QUOTE]
