dear devastated,
you're learning how to detach. i've found that it can be a rocky road. it's hard to detach, particularly for a mom. i would say no to fixing his things. he can't ever learn to fix these things himself if u do it. if all of us keep fixing things for our sick family members, they won't ever have to face their problems. everyone has problems in life. don't take away the chance for him to grow up and get his own self-worth from solving his own problems. i think we keep our loved ones in denial, by not letting them experience the consequences of their actions.we help keep them in their denial longer. god bless u and keep u safe and prayers for ur family from sugar
