[QUOTE="bluebell, post: 739788, member: 16761"] I think most of us struggle with that. My son came back in May of last year and after a lot of stops and starts, we had the most glorious October ever. Then it all started again. Yes it sucks. Bottom line is I have figured he's a grown man and the distance I must keep should probably remain the same, no matter if he's doing well or not. That's hard. Part of growing up but I just feel so cheated. He started this crap when he was 12, so we just didn't get the bonding or good times that we should have had. I have to be ok with the fact that there will be never be another October 17. No matter what. Amazing how a job loss can throw them off like that. I'm assuming this wasn't a career/good job. My son's job loss (min wage restaurant job) caused this last showdown. I just can't figure that out. If my daughter lost her crappy job today she would cry and have a bad night but then she'd be back off to the races. And amazingly, it wouldn't be my fault or my problem! [/QUOTE]
