[QUOTE="SunnyFlorida, post: 72880, member: 696"] It's hard to let go, especially when it's been just the two of you for so very long. My parents goal was always to raise their children to leave the house and be productive, law abiding citizens. Many of us here share that goal. Sounds like your difficult child can actually survive on his own. It also sounds like you get sucked in easily to the daily drama of his life etc. You might try some answers like " I'm sure you'll do just fine, or I'm sure you'll figure it out" and then make a quick exit off the phone or out the door. That way you won't get sucked into the decision making and he'll start to stand on his own decisions. It's hard after you've been together so long to start to distance yourself. If your grandson is just starting to talk, is his teacher concerned? Does the school have before and after care? if difficult child isn't making much, he should qualify for some subsidy. Rather than coming to the rescue, why not try and find solutions that don't involve you. by the way...glad you found us [img]:smile:[/img] [/QUOTE]
