[QUOTE="wisernow, post: 711167, member: 20373"] Sorry Wendy that you had to come to this place in your life. Know that we all understand . I do agree with the posters above. You cannot manage his life, nor are you responsible for it. He is a grown man who has made choices and now must face the consequences. Swots words as always are bang on: "My best advice is to not live your life dependent upon your son. He is seperate from you. You are different people. You taught him right but he chose to disregard your good parenting. Smile. Your tears help nobody, especially not you. Be good you yourself. You are the only person you can control". Yes you are the only person you can control, and once I learned that the universe suddenly seemed easier for me. There is an excellent article on loving detachment on this site somewhere....I have read it many many times and it does help. But as the others suggest as well please get help for yourself. Many of us have done that, still do that and having someone there to help navigate the stormy seas has saved many of us. Hugs to you! [/QUOTE]
