[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 762748, member: 1550"] I love this. Too often we feel it's unkind to set strong boundaries with addicted kids. We have to. Too often we allow them to abuse and manipulate us. That's not in anyone's best interest. Our adult kids need to see that other adults beyond us will not be abused or manipulated. It could even mean prison. We can not make our adult kids join societal norms or even love us by letting them treat us like their slaves. They will not respect us if we let them control us. So much to learn, but so many do learn. I just hope it doesn't take any of you ten years or cost you your marriage. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
