[QUOTE="HeadlightsMom, post: 637281, member: 18284"] Origami --- Of course you're still welcomed (and wanted!) to post here! I have enjoyed your posts immensely, despite the fact that we're both fairly new here. Everyone cares. Some of us carry different "voices" about our experiences and points of view. We're all different in our manner of expression, but we're all the same in our manner of heart. We're cheering you on! And an occasional "kick in the pants" is its own form of cheering you on (remind me of this the next time I need a "kick in the pants"! LOL!). We're with you! I agree that your son is a grown man and should be responsible for his own life. I think the best thing we, as parents, can do for our kids (no matter what age) is to encourage whatever degree of independence is age-appropriate. Age 27 is age-appropriate for full independence. If not now, then when? But let me remind you that I see much wisdom and strength in you. I think you're stronger than you think. I think you CAN do this. I think you CAN release him. I think you CAN do it now. So, the essence of my supportive message to you is..............YOU CAN! :) Give it a shot! You never know until you give it a shot. And, whether you sink or soar (I vote soar!)......... We will still be here. EVERY voice in this forum matters and has something great to contribute. I learn something from everyone here! Now SOAR, girl......SOAR! You CAN do this! Let him be a responsible adult! Your health and happiness matters. Of course, these are all your decisions. Your freedom, your power, your responsibility.
