It was a hard decision, but one we felt we had to do. Of course, now we are the bad guys. Go figure!<br /><br />We have learned that there is a fine line between helping and enabling. Such a hard thing for a parent (and grandparent!) to come to terms with! Hang in there! We'll just keep praying for each other.Brandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677046749308753776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11190188.post-58347545788553268302010-11-17T07:33:13.815-06:002010-11-17T07:33:13.815-06:00I am sorry.

After my oldest son had his second child, I told him I would no longer give him money unless he had a vasectomy (which I paid the surgeon directly). Most people I knew thought I was crazy, but it gave me piece of mind and ensured he was trying to do the possible- take care of ONE baby. He was angry for a long time, but now thinks it was the best thing I ever did for him. This was part of my solution- I guess what I am saying is sometimes you need to think outside the box with these not-really-adult-kids. {{{hugs}}}GB's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08866513131959998883noreply@blogger.com
