My wife "Was" and enabler. I had to threaten Divorce, and mean it. Been a bit rocky, but 150% better than it was.
.. Still married, she chose "us" over a adult child that needed to grow up.
That said; and in response to this subject, I feel, and think that Covid crap has made it easier for so many at ANY age to become 'Victims".
Covid is the excuse I will NOT accept again for lack of motivation.
Purpose of a parent is to get the offspring to take care of themselves in its simplest form. Nature is Full of these examples.
If God didnt give us a "will", we would have to rely on instinct, like every other animal on earth does.
Limiting a wayward child's choices makes them angry, but forces instinct on them.
Sadly the Govt really wants and promotes dependents.
Obviousy words are much easier to say than actions needed in the variety of problems.
