[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 656638, member: 18958"] This made me so sad. I fear my son won't. Whatever he did in the past, it was 77 per cent my pushing. The only things he has tried to do with his own initiative are get a medical marijuana card and get SSI (successfully). Oh, when he was 18 he saved his money to go to a foreign country to see a girl. Thank you, Cedar. I teared up too. How to hang on to hope? I am right there with you Lil and Jabber. The same shirking. The same theater, going through the motions, with intent only to create a show of doing something. No understanding of intent. Of responsibility. Always an external locus of control, except for that marijuana, that free money that arrives without conditions. How to accept that this will be his life? How to disentangle my own, emotionally, from his version of life that I little understand or accept? Where does my hope come from, if I cannot hope for him? I get the drill...I don't want to, or still, am unable to accept it. [/QUOTE]
