Applecori,

My son called me a few minutes ago wanting the number to a psychiatrist so that makes me feel better. I am going to try my best not to fix my son but I sure want to. He sounds very tired and down but at least he is seeking help. I still feel like it is my responsibility, given the history of my 2 failed marriages and his father refusing to help, for me to at least help him get set up on his own - maybe I could pay for the deposits on utilities and he can pay the deposit and first months rent. I helped my other 2 children get started and they took over from there. Does that seem like I am still coddling and being mommy? He still is welcome to choose the camper with my fiancé's rule of no spending the night with his girlfriend. I just figure if he doesn't want the camper for that reason and there is going to be constant fighting and disruption, then it would be better to help him get on his feet somewhere else since he's never on his own financially before. I just want to do the right thing.

Thank you
