[QUOTE="Lil, post: 705614, member: 17309"] I think it's quite easy for all of us to see what other people should do...not so much to see what we should do. I'm the "enabler" in my house...but it's easy to [I]say[/I], "throw him out" or "cut him off". It's quite another thing to do it. My husband, Jabber, has a hard time understanding any man not standing up to the behavior of our kids. But then he's looking at it as a former Marine / prison guard / old fashioned guy. There is a saying I've read many times on this board, "Take what helps and leave the rest". None of us are experts, we can only support and offer advice as people who are living similar lives. We all have had pain and grief. A life lost is very accurate - that's what it feels like. [/QUOTE]
