[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 709382, member: 15032"] I agree about the weed. I don't think it's awful but some people, like alcohol, should stay away from it. I just heard something on the news today about millennials and not having the same drive at the same age as other groups to make a life for themselves. DUH. That is an understatement. I had to leave for work before I could hear the actual news story but I think that can attribute to a lot of the problems with the adult children that we all write about on this forum. I am going to do more research about this on line. My son is supposed to start full time college in the fall but he just had a relapse. My husband wants to keep pushing him to move forward and grow up and find a way to support himself. Sometimes I wonder if he can even do it but he has to do it. What choice is there? I am not going to support this man child the rest of my life! Thankfully he is in Florida and not in my home. Been there/done that/got the T shirt. You will find support here. We all get it. Many of us are going through it after many years of going through it. I am just thankful to have found this forum that offers support and no judgement. We are all trying to push our kids to be the adults we know they can be/that they need to be but we can't lose ourselves in the process. That is the hard part. We could write a book too. I would not want to read it though. Take care of yourself, whether you see a therapist or get into some type of group that gives you some peace. [/QUOTE]
