[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 683494, member: 19522"] Hi Lindalou, welcome to the forum. I am so sorry for your need to be here, but it is a good place for folks like us to come and share our stories, receive good advice and compassion from others in similar situations. From reading over the responses, you have received some really good advice. We have all gone through the guilt stage, running through memories and mistakes wondering if we did, or didn't do something to cause what's going on with our kids who fail to launch. What it boils down to is free will and choice. People have come out of more extreme situations determined to live well. It is up to our adult children to want to do better for themselves. My two do not want better for themselves in my home. They just kept spiraling down and expecting everyone else to pick up the pieces. They wreaked havoc in our home, stole from us and were disrespectful. Unacceptable. So, here we are. It is not an easy place to be, but, here we are. LL, this is the hard part when you know you need to make a move for your sons sake and for your family to be able to live peacefully in your home. It goes against our instinct and the patterns we have fallen into, trying to rescue our d cs. You will have intense feelings but they will ease with time. Keep posting and let us know how you are doing. We have all been where you are at and understand how difficult it is. Hugs for your hurting mama heart. You are not alone. (((Hugs))) leafy [/QUOTE]
