She slandered my business, and I don’t want her as a client.
My son’s health issues make me very nervous about him potentially moving out. He is 25 now, and he has been talking about getting his own place for quite some time.
He doesn’t need my permission to move out, but I’ve practically begged him not to go because his health issues are so unpredictable. I feel better that I’m able to keep a watchful eye on him and be there if he needs me. I know that I cannot make him stay forever, but I have no idea how to let him go. I fear for the worst if he leaves. How can I get over this fear?Your job as a parent is to prepare your child to be independent. That is true even when your child has challenges, such as health issues. You may think you are doing the right thing by keeping him with you, but that is not necessarily true. Since your son is pressuring you to allow him to move out on his own, you need to let him.
Suggest that he talk to his doctor about how he can live independently and what precautions he should put in place to protect himself. Let him go on that appointment without you. He needs to exercise his own agency as he figures out next steps. You can help him to set himself up in an independent space, but do not hover. He should have all medical emergency information handy, including where the local hospital is. And then let him be.
