[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 147560, member: 1835"] Stands, speaking as one who has been there done that in terms of not having healthy boundaries with my child, I completely understand how difficult this process must be for you. Do you remember when your son was an infant and how, when you held him, sometimes it felt as though you couldn't tell where his skin left off and your own began, and how sweet and right that felt? But, at some point, you realized that he and you were not the same person, and that you had to help him slowly separate from you in order for him to grow up into the independent adult he was meant to be. in my opinion, you're doing him and YOURSELF a great diservice by not putting some of that emotional energy you spend trying to save him into getting back some boundaries between the two of you so that you can continue to grow as an individual independent of your son and his actions, and HE can learn to be a person who "stands with courage."
