[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 752156, member: 23706"] Not much to add. To me Copa and Wise connect well with everyone and I am glad they are here. I can add nothing to their words except my deepest empathy. It is never easy to let our troubled adults kids go out on their own, but often I think it is right for them and us. Its hard though. Maybe harder on us. I don't know. The people here have helped me feel better. I was a master enabler and my heart wants to continue but my bank account and my logical mind say it has not helped. It has done no good at all. So I keep on reading the posts here and it helps my resolve to no longer enable. One thing. As bad as I enabled, boyfriends were never going to be able to stay with us. Kay wanted Lee, now her husband, to live with us when things got bad with Lee and his parents. Although Kay threw bad fits, we stuck to NO. We had our own problem child and were not about to invite in someone else's too. No matter how loud Kay screamed. God bless you. Together we can do this! [/QUOTE]
