[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 739076, member: 18958"] February. Hi. I am sorry. This is nuts. He is nuts. There is no universe in which parents support an able bodied adult man...who chooses to lay around and smoke pot. This is like my son. When I read it like it really is, I get mad. My son blames me too. Says he's traumatized. I find myself thinking, what about my trauma? But I can't go there. Anger is the right response. Anger and distance. We cannot even allow ourselves to enter into conversation with them. Because they will try to put their suffering, the responsibility for their lives that they will not bear, into us. I am finding that there is no other solution for me. I want to save my life. Let him save his. [/QUOTE]
