[QUOTE="WiseChoices, post: 751482, member: 24254"] You are doing very, very well .You have been able to draw boundaries and stick to them. It stood out to me what you said about what you want for her and what she wants for herself are 2 different things . It helped me to read that. I want a career for my son, a position where he can give something back and feel good about himself and I want him to get a Masters degree for his future. But he does not want those things. So I need to let go. He wants just any job, live in a trailer and smoke pot every day .I need to accept that . Your statement helped me to let go of my self delusion. I think tying conditions to our offers of support are doomed to failure . They won't keep those kind of agreements . [/QUOTE]
