[QUOTE="Acacia, post: 754561, member: 19832"] What you say is true, and I need to keep reminding myself of that. I don't have to have been perfect to be a good mother. Yes, I go to the hurt child inside of my adult children even as they are behaving as unkind, irresponsible adults. I can have compassion, but I need to have as much for myself. You're right that I need to not go down the road of doom. My youngest son has many good qualities. Losing the money hurts because I didn't grow up with much, and I am frugal, so to see money wasted gets to me. But it is what it is. Thanks all for the continued support. Sometimes I start to crumble emotionally, and this wonderful site helps me keep strong. [/QUOTE]
