I agree with the others. Like Moose, my AD has called on more than one occasion all upset about something only to find her fine in a few hours or the next day. My sponsor has told me to not get drawn into the drama (which I've been so good at doing in the past) because they have to learn that living in the drama is not a good choice for them. And I'm not to feed that drama.

Give him the opportunity to work through this. If you go and rescue him, you are actually cheating him of a chance to learn a valuable lesson, or at least that is my opinion.

I just know I've done WAY too many things for my kids which have kept them from growing and learning responsibilty. I think I'm finally getting it..the fact that they have to make their decisions and live with the consequences. And if I get in the way of that, I'm not really helping them, only hurting them.
