[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 743014, member: 18958"] My position still is that I have a responsibility as a parent, still, to parent. But on this forum we are all over the map on this, on how much we feel we can do it, whether we can do it effectively or how much our adult children allow it. But this position has gotten me into real trouble. Because I kept at it way too long and way too much for my own good. Except the truer thing is to say: [I]I didn't do it so good.[/I] But there are parents here that do this way better than do I. Like TL. She stays connected but she does not allow herself to be consumed. We have been talking about Thanksgiving. I do not want my son to come here. I offered that M and I go close to where he is and we go out to eat. The last time we went to a restaurant, it was a Sizzler he was aggressive and demanding. M and I are both laid back except in the most egregious of situations and try to be solicitous and kind to restaurant staff. It is hard for us, this kind of behavior. But I do not want to spend the day with my son both homeless and alone. [/QUOTE]
