[QUOTE="YogiLori, post: 762745, member: 30044"] Mirabelle - You literally have written EXACTLY what has happened and how I feel. I am so grateful that you and others responded because I have felt so alone in my community. All of my son's friends have got it together and are in college or working and living on their own. As I was driving home just now from teaching my yoga class my son called for me to help him with a job application. A night stocker at Walmart. Since weed he has become nocturnal.

I have a sinking feeling he will ask my husband and me to pick him up and take him........another NO.........sometimes I find myself anticipating scenarios that stress me out.
