[QUOTE="seek, post: 714316, member: 22002"] Thank you, Kalahou . . . appreciate it. My deep rooted confusion is a combination of hope, and who-knows-what else (probably hundreds of variables) . . . I think it's walking a fine line to give up expectations and still have hope . . . I am not sure how to do that. He is always full of plans - and he is young - and he does keep "trying." He has lots of gifts . . . I know his lessons are his . . . I "just" want to see him well . . . can't seem to "let go" of that wish. It's hard-wired (my belief) into the human mom/grandma/attachment/bonding scheme of things. I have to become convinced that my "wisdom" is not for him - in the case of the independent contractor thing, it is hard, because I know he doesn't know what this designation means (that his boss is unethical) - and it could also have bad repercussions on my grandson (create tax problems, etc.) - and no insurance, workers' comp or unemployment insurance. As I just typed that, I got very scared, re: no workers' comp insurance . . . I don't know how to be okay with that. It feels like I should at least warn him. It's all very confusing to me. [/QUOTE]
