To everyone that was giving me advice, I am sorry! Sometimes you think one has to justify there actions and yet. they just need to listen and learn, accept others expressions. I did not do that. I was so concerned in doing everything so perfectly that I did not see what you all was trying to say too me and support me.

I am a control freak, I can see that, I have to control even my own form. I have so much responsibility, that I end up blaming anyone that helps me! Because I am not taking responsibility for my own personal actions.. I do not look at mine but others.

Someone said it best. SHUT UP AND LISTEN AND THEN YOU CAN HEAR!

THANK YOU ALL OF YOU........ PLEASE NOTE, i AM TRYING!

DON'T LEAVE ME NOW WHEN I NEED YOU THE MOST IN MY LIFE!

I'm guessing I missed your post. Sometimes the advice of strangers is best because they are removed from the problem and are not giving advice that they think you want to hear.. but what you NEED to hear. Good luck on whatever your dilemma was!

If you think you can control anyone, your going to be miserable. Noone can ever be controlled, unless jail or death is a factor.

Thank you... I did the post [My 23yr old son is coming home at my Request!]

Everyone gave me great advice, then i said what i was doing.. then all of a sudden I was my own post.

I was talking more then i was Listening... I have to stop that.. LOL

I have learned a lot from a few people on here and they have been very forward with me.

I wrote controlling because I was controlling my own post. Trying to jusify everything i was doing and saying and thinking.. Wrong move.

So this time i am reading.. and thinking.. then leaving it at that.

Admitting you are wrong or at least kinda wrong is a big step in parenting...jmo

We live & learn.
Neat thing about this family, we always seem to forgive & forget.
We all have problems in some manner & depend on the Mingle folks to help us thru the bad days.

Don't know what the post was about but the line my very wise Mother in law told me in parenting adult children "Twenty somethings are just two year olds on steroids. Relax trust what you have invested they will be fine."
