[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 193641, member: 1514"] Star...I think I can relate somewhat to how you feel. When I say that I counted down till Cory was 18 it was because he resisted everything we did and that at 18 we were finally no longer held accountable for what he did. It wasnt that I felt he was any more grown on that certain day but finally on that day, everyone stopped saying...ok mom and dad...YOU do something about him. Lord knows if I could have, I would have done it long ago. Now as far as Dude and his bio-idiot. I so get where you are coming from there. While I wasnt as abused as Dude, I cant tell you how many times I have screamed and cried that it wasnt fair that I have had to deal with some of the junk I have to deal with simply because my mother did x, y or z to me. Even now something will come up and it leads back to something she did to me. For gods sake...I am borderline because of her! For all I know, Cory is the way he is because of me which is because of her! The Witch! (How is that for circular thinking...lol) I dont think I have done a great job of being the parent of adult kids. Of course I didnt think I did a good job of being a parent at all. I just do the best job I can. Most of the time I probably mess it up royally. [/QUOTE]
