[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 476550"] I too totally understand where you are. It is heartbreaking to watch them behave this way, ways we did not bring them up to behave. As bad as it feels you are doing the right thing....He needs to find out where his choices will lead him and sometimes that means being out in the cold, or getting in trouble, or whatever. He is not making good choices and he needs to find out the consequences of those without you protecting him from them. I think it is so hard to let that happen and to watch the process. Yet it is the best thing you can do for your son. Take this tie to do some nice things for yourself... focus on you as much as you can. If you can get to an alanon meeting, especially one for parents. That has been a lifesaver for me. TL [/QUOTE]
