[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 760819, member: 18958"] What do you want to do? Do you want him home? I am not asking you what you think is the right thing to do. Nor am I asking what is best for your son. I am asking you, what do you want? What is best for you? Ultimately our children have to live their own lives. Not only because we will one day die. But because this is their life to come to terms with. My son has been depressed, has felt suicidal, and has said he wishes he hadn't been born. He blames me. But the thing is, the more I have backed out the more he is living the kind of life he wants, and it looks to me that he finds some satisfaction and happiness. It's not the way I would live. It's not the way I would want him to live. But he's living a life that seems congruent for him. From my own experience, I think when we insert ourselves into their lives, it is not good for us or for them. But that's me. What do you want for yourself? [/QUOTE]
