You’re right Jeanne. You have done all you can do. I have tried to “advise” my kids on various things but in a lot of cases I have just had to adopt a “hands off” policy. It is very hard to do but sometimes we have to just let life teach our kids. That hurts us too, knowing our kids will suffer due to their stupidiity, negligence or whatever. He could be in denial about what is actually happening with his health too. As long as he knows that the door is open for him to talk if and when he feels it necessary then there isn’t any need for you to be involved. It is not worth the stress to you. Sometimes I think that we take on too much and forget that our kids are adults and capable of looking after themselves. After all as you said he is 44. (((HUGS))) Been there done that.
