[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 689135, member: 18958"] Every word of your post I could have written. My son was depressed, anxious and has ADHD. At 23 I made him move out. He did not have a job or apartment. He went to a homeless shelter. I could not do it anymore. That is a valid reason. Sometimes we count too. Actually, we count a great deal. I have found that they need to learn how to live their lives and to come to terms with themselves. That that is the way they can to some extent learn to manage their moods and symptoms, feel self-esteem, autonomy and make a life. As long as we provide a haven they cannot really do this. It remains "mommy" and little boy. You can do this, and so can he. I highly recommend posting. It really helps. I am glad you are here. I hope that you encourage your son to make plans about how to meet his own needs. Set limits now so the change is not so abrupt. By setting limits and by going about your plans you will model to him autonomy, valuing yourself and your life. That will help him the most. [/QUOTE]
