[QUOTE="Littleboylost, post: 718874, member: 21895"] Jung and Freud, there have been some pretty kookie theories. I think a lot of why we feel the way we do is Ego driven. We feel pride when our children do well, and shame when they do not. And the fact truly is we have no claim to any of their actions good or bad. We believe we do though. I had to learn to get over the shame and park my ego. I know now that what my son chooses to do is exactly that his choice. I can guide him through the process of how to get help but only he can embrace this. I choose not to live in his chaos and he must become self sufficient and carry on with his life. I choose to love him regardless (although some days that is easier said than done). I will support his efforts for positive change and self improvement. I will not enable him to make bad choices and harm himself. That is my right. We humans are funny creatures. [/QUOTE]
