[QUOTE="wisernow, post: 714243, member: 20373"] I love what Culturana said.."enabling is disabling" for all ...the parent and the adult child. I am sorry you are going through this but also please be wary of the manipulative side of these folks. Yes he reached out to find out where aa meetings are in his area. I question why he could not have done that himself? was it an opportunity on his part to converse with you and have you take on his issues? I know you want to bring him home and take care of him. But as SWOT always says...he is no longer a young child. He is a grown adult who has made choices which have resulted in poor consequences. No amount of love or TLC will fix him. He needs to want and be prepared to do the hard work to fix himself. Bringing him home will enable him and disable you. Please start to focus on detachment and take care of yourself. Its a tough and heart breaking road and know that we all support you! Hugs!!! [/QUOTE]
