Hi Mizjjd, THis is my h too. He wants to be independent, but he just ends up doing nothing, calling it not needing my help. I started going to bed without a word, next thing you know he's following. At least every time he follows it's his own choice to be there. I watch my own shows now even with him in the room, now he watches them with me, who knew he was such a fan of HGTV.
Like teens I think they need the security of home while testing the waters of life. This makes me feel like his mother more than anything I ever used to do for him.
So we hold for hope for a better future, stay on the path we know is right, hey maybe the'll follow one day!
The past can't be ahead of you in the future. You don't have to figure it all out, just pick a direction. What's next...I don't know but I can't wait!
