[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 750329, member: 16024"] Hi Jay, This is a problem that most of us have had in one form or another—our difficult adult child becoming dependent upon us and we don’t know what to do about it. Your son is a 30 year old man who expects you to gas up his car every few days, and if nothing changes, he will be a 40 year old man who expects you to gas up his car every few days. Then 50, 60, 70.... It’s likely that you won’t wake up one day and suddenly feel stronger and ready to do this without any nagging doubts. So, how do you do it? You just have to do it. Step out in faith and do it. Eventually, that is what you will have to do, and it won’t be easy, and you will have doubts and second guess yourself. But, it has to be done, sooner or later. You can’t let him go into middle age like this. And old age. He has to figure out his life. [/QUOTE]
