[QUOTE="Ironbutterfly, post: 679946, member: 19951"] I was able to let go of the outcome by finding this forum. Ever since I found others in similar situations; I realized I wasn't alone, I wasn't a bad Mother, but I did enable, though I didn't realize I was. Once I was able to understand what enabling was, letting my son find his way, even if was a bad choice, I could let go of "the outcome". I am at peace finally. He is doing better but I wish things could be better for him, but perhaps one day, I will get that wish, but for now, I am not restless, I am not losing sleep, I am not totally engaged in his life. I keep our conversations simple and when he starts rambling on and on I tell him I have to get back to work, or some other excuse. I don't allow him to fill my head with his stuff. Life is good- at least for now. [/QUOTE]
