[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 739497, member: 15801"] Copa..... I think it is a balancing act between supporting and loving your son and taking care of yourself and not sacrificing yourself. I dont think it has to supporting him and sacrifcing himself or not supporting him at all.... but it is finding the balance. I think that is what you are trying to do right now. I do believe a connection with you serves him and that he wants and needs that. I think your words are less important than the connection. I get the impulse and drive to give your son the information (or wisdom) he needs. I have to work really hard to keep my mouth shut and many times I dont succeed and I say way too much. I have learned over time that my son often doesnt learn from what I say... he tends to learn from his own experience. [/QUOTE]
