[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 62200, member: 1991"] That stubbornness of his could be such an asset for him, but as has been said - it comes down to control and his ability to handle it. You do what you can and don't beat yourself up over what you can't. All you can do is say, "I want to help,, you know where to find me when you're ready to accept that help. You can do so much more for yourself, but it seems you have to work this out for yourself. I love you and I'm here for you, when you come to me." Then the hardest bit - leave him to do what he's gonna do anyway. Because there is nothing you can do to change it, or him. And trying would only make his stubbornness head even faster in the wrong direction. Marg [/QUOTE]
