[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 713061, member: 13303"] Sorry for what you are dealing with. You can't control his choices. With children like this, their endless cycle of bad decisions can become an obsession for us. It makes us forget that we have our own lives to live and that we are entitled to peace and serenity regardless of our adult children's struggles or choices. If you haven't sought out Al-Anon and/or Codependents Anonymous, I highly suggest that you do so. These groups have been very helpful for me. I am a fixer too, and I learned I cannot fix anyone but myself. I hope your son finds his path and becomes a productive, healthy and happy citizen. It will happen on his timeline, not yours. Same is true for my difficult stepson. Best to you. [/QUOTE]
