[QUOTE="Beta, post: 757266, member: 22597"] Hi everyone---sorry it's been a few days. The weekends tend to be "catch up" time from working all week. I've read through each and every post, and I thank you for each one. So much wisdom to absorb and think about. Yes, this is so true. I can't change this in him, but it does hurt to see someone you love struggle with so much self-doubt and negativity toward himself. I try to be very careful about what I say to him or what I ask him, that I don't convey any doubt about his capabilities or any disrespect toward him as an adult. Again, this is true too. I have experienced this over and over again with him, and my husband says the same thing. He does get angry when he feels I'm not letting him be an adult. I'm trying to do better with this. [/QUOTE]
