[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 703448, member: 17720"] I am reading along, Copa. It is so hard to have them around us, isn't it? When we can see up close they are not yet the men or women we feel they need to be. And so hard to not have them around, when we see them going off the rails and frightened that we are losing any chance of preventing a hard fall. There is no right answer, other than maybe this: This is what I aspire to do as well, Copa. In my case, my (over) involvement (which is to say any involvement other than benign encouragement and gentle suggestions from afar) does more harm than good. Perhaps not harm, but certainly prevents growth. I am glad your son is home and glad you both are focused on the love you share. [/QUOTE]
