For all my prayers and fixing for my son and wanting to make his life the way I thought it should be.....all I thought as good intentions and prayer....I had no right to interfere with his life lessons....I only prolonged them and made myself miserable. It also gave me an excuse not to be working on myself and my own issues of codependency.

HB,
So very true; enabling him caused you the price of not taking care of yourself. You seemed to have come thru with the codependency lesson.
Was there; done that; learned my daughter had to find her way. Thank God; she is for "today" doing well. I am there for her to bounce things off of; but not unwittingly pushing her away by offering my suggestions. She said she is grateful for that. Expressed this to one of the parents of a boy she has been trying to help. My daughter asked me last week if I would be willing to talk with the mother.
