[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 87831, member: 179"] You've received some very good advice in this thread. Honestly, the ball is in [b][i]YOUR[/i][/b] court right now. We all know the difficulty of pulling away and letting them sink or swim...believe me, we've all been there done that. If it is so difficult to let him go, I suggest taking a trip somewhere for a week or two leaving no message as to where you are. Do something nice for yourself and let him work out his own stuff. Some of the responses may seem a bit harsh, but it's because we've seen this scenario over and over again. One may be a bit more understanding if it was a 16 year old, but not a 24 year old. Like I said before - if and when you decide to stop enabling him, it will most likely get worse before it gets better. I'm guessing he's a master at guilt trips. [b]<span style="color: #FF0000"><span style='font-size: 20pt'>DO NOT GIVE IN.</span></span>[/b] If you do, you'll continue to live in the personal heck you are right now and he'll keep doing what he's doing. Hugs to you and I hope you stay strong. Abbey [/QUOTE]
