[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 83789, member: 47"] Karen, I jokingly use to say, when someone asked me how many children I had... four. I always counted X as one of them. He was just soooo irresponsible, and I was sooo responsible. I never really thought about it much, while I am extremely independent, I am also extremely codependent, somehow along the way being a mom to 43 year old became part of my job, until I was in counceling, and the therapist told me I needed not to feel bad about cutting my apron strings, he would survive (or not - it was still no reflection on me) She wasn't referring to difficult child, but to my soon to be X. Its a really hard habit to break once you have been your partners mom instead of just a partner. I have to be constantly on my guard about "feeling bad" about something and wanting to fix it. Some things just can't be fixed. Marcie [/QUOTE]
