[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 665353, member: 13542"] Joy, I'm also impressed with your determination to change this pattern with your son. Great job. I went through much of the same with my adult daughter, who will be 43 at the end of this year. It's a process, but once I started stepping back and stepping back, as you are, things changed so much, and for the better too. If not talking to him daily works for you, then set up a weekly phone time, there's no reason he needs to call you every day other than to tell you how bad his life is and put you in a state of worry. My daughter used to call me daily too, it was tough. I finally asked her to stop that litany of negativity. It was too hard on me and served no purpose. You're clearly on your way out of this FOG with your son....and once all the clarity returns to your life, along with that joy and peace, it is much easier to stay detached and love them, but not be entrenched in their lives. Stay the course, you're doing great! [/QUOTE]
