[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 738335, member: 13303"] Hi Michelle, Your son's life is full of chaos. Unfortunately you can do nothing about his choices. He is a legal adult and you are not responsible for him any longer. He is not under your roof, so you don't have any boundaries to draw there. You have a choice: continue to fall into his maelstrom, or choose to live a life of peace and serenity regardless of what he is, or is not, doing. I have learned through my experiences that all of my worrying, praying, hoping, and fretting accomplished absolutely nothing except to tie me in knots. My loved ones have never changed their behavior because of anything I did, or did not, do. People change only if THEY themselves see the value in it, and want it. Your son doesn't seem to be going down a positive path at the moment. You can't change his choices. Love from a distance is much safer for parents like us. [/QUOTE]
