[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 749162, member: 18958"] You are not saying you will not help him. You are saying that you won't take responsibility for the decisions he makes in his life. He needs to do that. He is able-bodied and he has a sound mind. We need to operate from that place. He needs to learn to operate from that place, and we as mothers have to learn to permit them to do this. Even if, especially if, it hurts us. Just as we sent them off to school when they were 5, and turned away as they cried, we need to tolerate this. It's for them as much as for us. [/QUOTE]
