[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 759209, member: 15032"] So sorry to hear this. I am speaking for my own former difficult child here, he is doing well and in college (online at home due to Covid). He works and is responsible. I wish he worked more hours because it seems he still has too much time on his hands. He does not have any mental illness except anxiety which I am not sure I'd classify as a mental illness as I think more of us than not have anxiety in some form. We want our son out and on his own so he can mature and grow into the man that God intended him to be. I think when our adult children live with us it stunts their emotional growth and maturity. I think when we let them lean on us too much (what is too much?) that it is bad for them. My son has no friends other than a few people at work but he never socializes outside of our home. He is always with us which is a bit much for us. When I think of him in his own home, alone I worry that he'll be lonely. But on the flipside I realize that then he'll step out of his comfort zone and find a girl or friends or something to fill his time and start HIS life. There is only so much we can and should do as parents I think. I am hoping your son will get back to a good place so that you don't have to worry so much. [/QUOTE]
