[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 725346, member: 18516"] Sometimes it's just best to do nothing. Now is the time to allow natural consequences. This can be really hard but it can be the best thing to do. Of course this does not mean that your son will suddenly come to his senses and behave in a way more to your liking, it's just a way to work on detaching from his life choices. I've been at this a loooong time and what I can tell you is detaching is the best thing you can do for yourself. Detaching makes it much easier to stick to a plan of not giving money or rescuing them in any form. We as parents have zero control over how our adult children will live their lives. We don't have to like their choices but we also don't have to rescue them when it all starts to fall apart because of their poor choices. Hang in there!! This actually made me laugh!! [/QUOTE]
