[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 756290, member: 17720"] I hope you are all having a great trip, RN! I think it's really hard as a parent of ANY adult child to sit back and watch them make mistakes. Having a difficult child is harder, of course...then having to take a front row seat by virtue of having them at home...well, that just makes everything harder still. On the other hand, maybe having him home discourages the relationship from becoming more intense? Ultimately, as you and others have said, there's not much you can do about it. Hopefully it will die of its own weight. Until then, for whatever reason, they are both getting something they need from the relationship or they wouldn't be in it. [/QUOTE]
