I'm sorry to say that I disagree with you. IMO the best thing we can do for our adult children is to expect them to behave like adults.

Re: Lustorlove
I agree with you Justi. Lustorlove don't put yourself down! You are just as good as anybody else! Your children are adult and they have to cope with adult responsibilities including listening to their mother telling them that she too has needs.

Re: Sit yourself down and think about what will happen to them if
I know my son wouldnt be able to live any where this cheap and my daughter would look harder for a job. I recent having to go to work, but that was my plan until it took 6 months I was use to doing what I wanted. I guess they just see me as a strong woman who doesnt have a weak side to her

something happens to you. While they remain so dependant on you they are never going to learn how to cope. Yes I miss my kids and my grandkids even more and it hurts knowing that they don't need me but I am proud too that they stand on their own two feet. They should be ashamed that you are the one starting a new job it should be their turn to help you. I really care about you, you are a special friend and you deserve more respect.

You're taking the first step. Where to go from there I am not sure, I have to admit.

You have made a major step in looking at this and admitting it. You may need some support in order to get anything substantial and long lasting done. This is a lifetime of this sort of behavior on your part and it will be difficult to change now. I would call a family counseling center, or group called Celebrate Recovery which is a group that helps with any sort of addiction and we all are addicted to something. I think this is a fantastic first move, you will find your life under all this permissiveness. I wish you well, much happiness and joy.
