I understand completely also.  I could have written the post Goldenguru did.  I think that personality traits have something to do with it and the need to control others.  I feel the need to control especially the ones that have risky behavior because I feel I would lose control of myself if something happened to them and that is a scary thought to me.  I have told my counselor this and will continue to delve into why that is so scary to me.  Everytime I am with my son I feel this almost panicky feeling. To try and change him to what I think he should do or what I want him to would be nice for me because then I wouldnt have to worry!  Does that make sense?
