[QUOTE="HeadlightsMom, post: 633967, member: 18284"] MWM -- One other thought... You asked, "Is it....disease, enabling, chronic, codependent, etc...?" I tend to think one of the primary problems is becoming so "enmeshed" that we lose sight of what is theirs and what is ours. When we stay too close to it for too long (Hello? It's parenting......we're living with them for years!), it seems inevitable. BUT.......here's my positive slant on it.... (as there usually is one, in my opinion).... Just as we chose to get "ENtangled" with them (we kept parenting), we can also choose to get "UNtangled". Not sure of how that fully looks upon completion, as I'm still UNtangling. :) But the UNtangling does feel good! Free Will...... I choose to practice my Free Will as positively as possible as I continue to learn. Thanks, again, MWM, for posting such a GREAT insight! Thinkin' 'bout tattooing it on my forehead as a reminder to keep UNtangling! LOL! [/QUOTE]
