[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 759305, member: 831"] Hi Jed, I'm often struck by just how difficult it is for us to do nothing for our wayward adult children. They make poor choice after poor choice and we, as parents, struggle with how they're going to cope with their poor choices. I realize, for me, it is about me wanting to make MY worry and anguish go away. I will just try to fix it so I do not have to be in such distress over THEIR suffering from THEIR deliberate poor choices. I feel it on a daily basis with my son. I confront it in a healthy manner as best I can. It is the not knowing, the unpredictability of what might happen that swirls in my mind that I literally have to find a way to distract myself from it. Luckily, I have developed plenty of ways that I find effective and enjoyable. Setting boundaries for yourself is a good start. As stated by others here, getting professional help can be useful. Best wishes! [/QUOTE]
