[QUOTE="Lil, post: 722697, member: 17309"] Oh Copa, I'm so sorry to hear this. I wish I could help. I wish I could say something profound and comforting. All I can do is tell you that we're here for you and you are not alone. :group-hug: This. Exactly this. Our kids by and large don't want a conventional life. They don't want jobs and mortgages and car insurance. They want food and shelter and comfort - but all of it paid for by someone else so they can do what they want to do without any responsibilities. I realized a long time ago that when I said, "All I ever wanted was him to be happy" that wasn't true. What I wanted was for my son to be happy living a conventional life. He didn't have to be a doctor or lawyer. He could be an artist or a fast food worker. But I wanted him to be happy with a life with rules. [/QUOTE]
