[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 688439, member: 15801"] Oh Copa I can so relate to how you feel and the relief at hearing from him. I keep coming back to that issue of balance..... We can't do it for them but I am not at all convinced that doing nothing for them is the way to go for all kids. For some it is definitely what they need to pull it together, but then there are those who don't make it. So it comes back to how can you support them, set limits, be clear and not enable them all at the same time. I really think there is no one right answer but it takes looking at and knowing your kid and doing what your gut says is the right thing. I know for my son right now the limit is he has to be going to the IOP and using that support system to help him. So we won't help him if he doesn't do that... But while he is we are. [/QUOTE]
