[QUOTE="jbrain, post: 264150, member: 3450"] See, I knew people would respond who can write the right words! Please do listen, KJS, we really care and we all have been in similar shoes to yours! Also, you really will be doing difficult child a favor when you let him take on responsibility for his own life. You will be saying in effect, "I believe in you and your ability to make good decisions." (even if you don't believe in him and his ability he needs to think you do!) Hugs, Jane P.S. Having a parent who feels she isn't strong enough is likely to make a kid feel insecure--that you can't handle him. You are strong enough, KJS, and when you show him that strength it can only help him. Setting boundaries and living your own life and taking care of yourself are ways to show strength. Take back your power! [/QUOTE]
