[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 614346, member: 13542"] These are hard choices Cedar. A quote by Carl Jung comes to mind, [COLOR=#444444][FONT=arial]"When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#444444][FONT=arial][B]fate[/B][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#444444][FONT=arial]." Seems true for not only you and husband but for your son as well. This is HIS fate, not yours. I think stepping in will [I]interfere[/I] with his fate. The other thing I thought of is a line I've heard for many years in regard to lessons we all get confronted with. I'm not sure of the exact quote, but the essence is that we are always being nudged to change and grow and at first the lessons present themselves as small intuitive "hits" which can be relatively easy to do. If we don't hear those internal promptings, the lessons get louder and uglier, change is afoot but we are ignoring the opportunities to change usually out of fear. Then one day we get hit with the 'cosmic hammer.' Ugh. If you look at it like this, it takes the judgement out.......................life lessons are here for your son and your daughter now.........................and for you and husband to allow them to walk into their own fate, whatever that is. Another thought to consider is that each time we step in to enable another, we rob them of the opportunity to learn, to grow to be empowered. My opinion is that your kids are coming up with these dramas because you are moving away and I believe that energetically, even if not known consciously, people sense that..............trying to pull you back into the familiar and the comfortable..................but it is an opportunity for you as well, to not succumb to the usual fears and allow them to face their own consequences. It's a family dynamic which has erupted with enormous force because it has essentially been hidden out of awareness until now. YOU are the one who has brought the light into the dark places. You've done a great job too. Stay the course Cedar, we are all given many tests in life to see if we are strong enough to make the necessary changes, I think this is one of those times.
