My Heart is Breaking

by Cindy
(Nashville)

My 24 yr old son (stepson actually) brought in the new year with a car crash, dui, and dislocated hip. He had no insurance, was driving an unregistered car but thankfully didn't hurt anyone.

My husband and I have finally drawn the line and said "we will no longer enable or help you" after years of helping clean up his messes, making excuses for him, or avoiding the problem. He can't believe that we have "disowned" him (his words) and the guilt is killing me. Please tell me that we are doing the right thing!!!
