[QUOTE="elizabrary, post: 748182, member: 11235"] Actually you are being a good mom because you are ensuring that your son steps up and handles his life as a grown up should. That's the ultimate good parent. You have to separate who he is now (an adult) from the child you spent so many years nurturing. You parent differently at different ages, and what you are doing now is exactly the parenting an adult child needs. You are being a mom who is letting her adult child stand on his own and learn how to be a grown up. Sometimes the parenting our children [I]need[/I] is not the kind of parenting they [I]want[/I]. Stay strong. Sending peace your way. [/QUOTE]
