[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 723636, member: 1550"] This is hard, but he is 36 and all your fixing and bandaides didnt help. Not at all. Not all the money and sweat and tears you put into him. I imagine through the years you put up with his abuse, theft, maybe violence...it is time to get out of his way and let him sink or swim. Its all up to him. Your house should be your sanctuary. It is time for you to start to know yourself again. You have done all you can...but he is the one who has to do it. I strongly suggest therapy for you. This is not easy and you will want to give in to him when he manipulates you into guilt and shame. Have you gone to Al Anon? It saved me, along with my therapist. I am sad for your heart, but feel you did the best thing for all of you, son included. He needs to learn to function without you. None of us can live forever...... [/QUOTE]
