Glad to help. I have older sons, one who runs full steam ahead, the other who needs time to find his way at his own pace or he gets really anxious and overwhelmed. One of the things we've supported with him is that idea of finding that happy medium where he doesn't over-stress but where he is taking comfortable steps forward in growth. It is slower for him than my other two, but he is getting there. He's taken longer to reach his milestones in life, but he does get there. Our job has been to support his forward movement at a pace that doesn't overwhelm him, but not allow him to get complacent with staying too comfortable right where he is. It's a balancing act. I hope your parents can hear that need for you so you can make comfortable steps toward independence without thinking you have to do it all at once. You do need to keep the forward momentum going, but don't get ahead of yourself if that makes any sense. Find your happy medium, and try to get your parents on board if you can. If not, you can do this FOR yourself.
