Dear Mom, I feel you are right about the business. Let go of it. It's his dream. He wants to be able to provide for the family and when he's feeling down and has a low self esteem you critising him will not help. It might feel strange but why don't you say to him that you feel that with the baby coming and him being out of the house the accounting is just too much. Give him the reins and most of all act confident that he is able to make it a succesfull business.It will definately boost his confidence. MEanwhile Don't give him any advice whatsoever regarding the business or other area's. Lift him by awknowledging ALL the good things he does. i know letting go might feel like a big risk but why do you think he can't deal with the responsibility? It's smothering and treating him like a baby while he is a man and wants to feel like a man.
