[QUOTE="witzend, post: 299759, member: 99"] Big hugs... It's really hard that you can't guide him in this, but I don't think it's unusual even for kids who aren't difficult children. It's possible that he doesn't want to ask for advice because he is worried that he might hear "I told you so", even though that isn't something you would say. I'm sure he feels foolish. And how like a man to "wait and see". Please don't feel badly. If he was not having these troubles, and he and his wife were making changes in their lives that were for the positive, he probably wouldn't ask your advice for that either. He's a grown man. Boys are taught [I]so young [/I]to not be a "Mama's boy". Let it be. He will come to you when he's ready, on his own terms. [/QUOTE]
