I thought I'd really learned & implemented the T chart of control. After listening to this last podcast, I can see I have more work to do. Too much energy is going into my 18 yr old. I feel like I can let natural consequences happen, but then I catastrophize and still intervene. I justify it because the decision my adult child makes still affects me because they live at home. ex: I don't wake them for work & they get fired, loose the privilege of the car ( because they don't have $ for gas/ insurance), go into a deep depression, and possibly start using drugs again. That is what happens in my brain everyday when I know they should be leaving for work. This has been the cycle and it is too much to deal with again so I try to stop it from happening. The longer they can go with a steady job and no drugs they better it is for everyone.
