[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 739495, member: 23349"] Yes! This is me also. 100%. I am going through the same thought process right now. Who else does he have? Maybe my words will make a difference. Maybe it will be the lifeline he needs to keep going and finally make a change. How cruel would it be to cut him off? But maintaining that connection is a sacrifice of my own peace and sanity. I think you’re right, we need to let go of the idea that our wise counsel is going to make a difference. Right now, I am fighting the urge to text mine and ask are you Ok? Where are you? What’s going on? But when I do that - I am just inviting him to latch on to me as the answer to his problems. I just need some money. Can you look this up for me. Can you call this person for me. Can you help me figure this out. No. I can’t. I didn’t make this mess. And I’ve made the life choices I have made precisely because I don’t want to deal with these kinds of messes, and I don’t know how anyway. Sigh. It’s so hard. I hope you find something good at the dollar store. [/QUOTE]
