Wow, what an awesome post. Spot on. I love your analogy with the lighthouse and boat.

I should have mentioned setting boundaries. We need to do that with our son. His housing staff is willing to help him with cleaning and self-care, but he has declined their offer. My husband just this morning was saying we need to sit down with him and explain Mom can’t do it all - the staff is there to help him and he needs to accept it. I actually COULD do quite a bit, but we think it’s important for his independence that I not be involved much.
