[QUOTE="Smithmom, post: 741282, member: 23371"] Copa I fully understand. As I recall it was only when mine had a prison sentence of a couple of years and was over 20 that I decided it was time to detach. But I also had two younger ones at home who deserved more of me. As with everything in your life you need to figure out what is positive and what is not. If the support is positive then its worth staying. I think for all of us there's a sense of community lost when our kids behave badly. We just don't fit into the PTA crowd or trade updates on our kids with the neighbors as we did when they were young. No matter how well intentioned, people don't relate to us. Just the way it is. For me this was a huge loss when my oldest was in elementary. I tried to gain some of that back when he was gone. Didn't work. I became part of a community of dysfunction people, of which I am one now. This site can provide a sense of community. [/QUOTE]
