[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 745707, member: 18516"] I do not believe this. No matter our upbringing, no matter how much influence someone has in our lives, it's still an individuals choice in how they choose to live. The only thing you have done is love your son. You have exhausted yourself in pursuit of trying to get him to be more responsible. Have you enabled him at times, yes, but so have all of us with our own children. I think there is a little truth here. I do believe that J knows he can use your emotions against you, however, he makes choices for himself on a daily basis to live his life the way he sees fit. I do not believe that his choices are driven by a desire to hurt you emotionally. That being said, I do believe there are times when all of our difficult children will do things to hurt us emotionally but as whole, I do not think that is their main focus. To launch successfully into adulthood is something that all of our adult children have struggled with but in the end, it's their struggle. No matter how much we want what we want for our children, we cannot force it upon them. [ATTACH=full]1111[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
