[QUOTE="SunnyFlorida, post: 69446, member: 696"] We all know it's hard for our mommy hearts to let go. But...the realization is, you were responsible for him until he was 18. From 18-22, the supposedly college age years, you might have been used for guidance. After age 22 though, unless he has mental/cognitive deficiencies, any additional "helping/enabling" is actually hurting his development and progression into adulthood. in my humble opinion, If easy child lives at home, consider him a rentor. Collect whatever $$ you charge, hold it for him or use it for whatever, but detach and allow easy child to make all the choices on his own. His choices will come with his own actions/consequences.
