[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 704211, member: 15032"] Aging Rapidly: I think you are doing the right thing. We do not have our son in our home either due to his depression and substance abuse. We hope he will start school in the fall which he says is what he wants but we aren't pushing because he is not ready either. Our son is doing better not being at home and being more on his own. We are subsidizing him also but are okay with that as long as he is working and being responsible (more than he has in the past). You really can't compare him to your other children. He is not like them. Same thing in our family. I am seeing a therapist to help me deal with my son and not feel guilty and sad all the time. I am learning how to have healthy boundaries with him. It is not easy. I also have been beyond stressed out over our 21 year old son. It will take over your whole life and every thought if you let it. I can attest to that. But all the worry in the world really doesn't help them. I just wanted to offer my support! :staystrong: [/QUOTE]
