[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 752824, member: 18958"] There was a mother here when I began. Scent of Cedar. She would say that her help to her adult children: turned them into beggars. This is what I do when I make help to my son contingent. But the other side of the coin is that he turns me into a beggar. By withholding cooperation he forces me to beg him to change. At the bottom I know this is the truth of my situation with my son. We are long past the time when to (try to) force my son into living one way or another, might function. We are well past the time it took to see if he was ready to try to live well and cooperatively. We are paying 96 percent of the cost to make this work. This afternoon when he comes home will be the moment of truth. I almost dread either way. I dread too if he has this verification. Because in truth I don't want to do this more. Too much of our energy are going to make something work, over which we have no control. We are being run by fear. Fear of our true feelings. [/QUOTE]
