In general, the 50+ is usually supportive as well, but not as much so as C&A.
It's been one of several things weighing on my mind, and I was looking for some level of support/camaraderie as I'm dealing with some decisions and how to execute them.
I'm a big boy, I should have known there'd be some negativity with the support. But I still think getting some support from those who are dealing with similar things was worth the downside.
Doohickie... I apologize if you took my comments as being a critique of your parenting... it was intended to be a general comment about young folks nowadays... they are immature and lack focus. And I believe everyone intended to be supportive. Sometimes a "push" foward is better than allowing someone to step back. We all know what comes from allowing "adults" to come home... it generally is not a good thing for anyone but that said... again, only you know the situation, know your child and know why its helpful to allow him to return home. Ignore us and what we say... you do what you feel is best for your child...
