Dandy,

I agree with you. I am looking for an al-anon, but I also need to talk to a professional, and I do have health care to cover that.

I will still take my baby steps, and hope that someday my son will be happy and functional. That might not happen, I realize, but I don't have to sacrifice my life and happiness, just because he is.

I surely know I need more than these baby steps, I need professional help, no doubt. I talked with my sis yesterday, and she is dealing with the same thing with her son. We talked about our childhoods, and how miserable they were. Now our sons both are so dependent.... I am sure that we did not help that, enabling, because we had no one to care for our needs as kids, and we did not want to do the same thing our parents did to us. funny though, we are pretty resourceful, due to having to be... strange how life is sometimes.

thank you. Your help is priceless, and I think you should get a raise
