[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 712220, member: 1550"] FOG is fear, obligation and guilt. Look, we make choices too :) We choose to wallow in misery or be happy. If we absolutely can not be happy it could be because we have slipped into clinical depression and, in the spirit of taking care of ourselves, should in my opinion seek treatment. If we are not suffering from depression, then, like our adult sons amd daughters, we are choosing sadness and despair. Yes, sometimes its hard not to remember that we are not them and that being happy is not betraying them. Some may think its impossible to be happy. This is how our adult kids think. Do we want to send them the message that because something is hard it cant be done? Some people suffer their whole lives over another person and we all know here that we cant control or change another person. You know this. Let go. Love him, but let go. This is his problem, his path, not yours. Talk to him once a week. Its costly, collect calls. If he wanted free access to you he could have made other life choices. It is your choice or not to let him take you with him as he slides down the abyss. We have choices too. With many blessings, I send this. [/QUOTE]
