[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 686085, member: 18958"] I think it has to be your son's choice. Nothing you have said so far leads me to think he lacks the competency to decide this, and with an attorney, pursue it. My son made his decision. Actually, I would not have supported him. But it was his decision to make, and his alone, for his life. He is changing for the positive. I agree with this, too, actually everything GN wrote and SWOT reinforced. I agree with SWOT, too, that your son needs to come to grips with himself and his life independently of you. If he cannot do it alone, the system will support him. Your moving should not be influenced by his need of you or not. Either to get away from him or to stay close to him. He is a man who must find his way. For me, this is still hard to completely wrap my mind around. My son is taking a college class for the first time in 7 years. It was my heart's desire that he return to college. I find myself wanting to sneak and read his in progress essay so that I can vicariously take part (control?) in the outcome. This is very, very hard for mothers, what we are going through. Keep posting. I hope you do. It really helps. We grow when we post. Take care. I believe it will get better. I hope so. [/QUOTE]
