[QUOTE="Triedntrue, post: 728460, member: 21499"] I understand what you are going through. It is hard to wrap your head around the idea that by giving them money and providing them with what they want we are not helping only hurting. I did the same with my son. I am trying my best to detach but it is not easy. None of us want to see our children having trouble but you and i are close in age and we are not going to be around for ever so first we should be able to enjoy our lives we have earned it. As far as our adult children they need to learn to be independent now because we won't be here forever. I know that it is not that simple it will take a lot of adjustment , there will be anger, tears, threats, resentment and some tough choices. But hopefully they will become independent and by doing so give us our independence back. [/QUOTE]
