    Still Struggling with Detachment

    Cont.. my partner took the dog to the end of the street and was approached by Difficult Child- my partner told him to stay where he was and he tied the dog up. My partner was then chased by Difficult Child back to the house. Where he made rude gestures and spat at the door screamed and shouted profanities - my partner...

    Still Struggling with Detachment

    Thank you susiestar.. I have now had enough. Yesterday was the worst. I text Difficult Child to say if he wanted his dog that he could collect him from the end of my street at 11am (he cannot be with 100m of the house - although that doesn't stop him). My partner was out the front weeding, Difficult Child drove passed...

    Still Struggling with Detachment

    It's been a long night.. Police left around midnight and were going to Look for Difficult Child because of the breech of the restraining order. I started to get texts from him about an hour ago, saying he wanted food as he slept on the beach. I told him "no" and sent crisis centre phone numbers and...

    Still Struggling with Detachment

    I am not sure what to do with the dog, he clearly cannot stay at my house. I will look for shelters tomorrow (he really is a lovely dog - and none of this is his fault). My youngest son is 19 - he has suffered a lot because of Difficult Child. I only said to my girlfriend this morning how much better he was...

    Still Struggling with Detachment

    Difficult Child turned up at my house. My youngest son was there, he wanted fuel and food, my youngest son dealt with Difficult Child (he struggles Badly with depression and anxiety). After all that Difficult Child told youngest son to take his dog, youngest son panicked and took the dog (as he did not think he would leave otherwise)...

    Still Struggling with Detachment

    Your right, I am just in panic state (we all know the drill). He says he needs help but that will mean money.

    Still Struggling with Detachment

    Hi again, I am not sure what to do now. I have communicated a bit more (via Text) with my son over the past few weeks, which has not gotten be anywhere. He is still saying he has to move out of where he is and needs bills paid etc. For the last few days I have not been replying to his texts as...

    Still Struggling with Detachment

    Thank you Sam3, I have had a few more texts from him in the last couple of hours. He says he has to move out of the place that he is in and needs money for food and wants me to store things at my house. (this happens approximately every 6 months or more - i have lost count of how many times I...

    Still Struggling with Detachment

    Hi everyone, I posted before Christmas as I was struggling with the fact that I decided I would not be seeing my son. I sent him an EGift card for a Supermarket chain here and also paid a rather expensive Phone bill of his. I text him on Christmas day and told him I loved him very much and...

    Dreading Christmas

    Hi everyone and Merry Christmas, I decided to text my son on Sunday after he had called multiple times last week (from his new mobile number) I do not pick up when he calls, as I just cannot deal with the drama anymore - I have not been in contact with him for a few months (about the time I...

    Coping with detachment and no contact with 20 yo son

    Thank you RNO441, you all give such great advise. It's funny talking to you all , as I have been following your posts for sometime now (I wish, like everyone here, it would be under very different circumstances). I am still going through the "No Contact" stage - and think this will go on for...

    Coping with detachment and no contact with 20 yo son

    It is hard to make sense of anything they do. My son has had a taste of a shelter - for 1 week around the time of his 18th birthday (he blames me because he didn't have a party??). He managed to find a job as an apprentice plumber and was put up in his bosses home (a great opportunity to put his...

    Coping with detachment and no contact with 20 yo son

    Most people feel the same but, but Father in law refuses to have him back - I have literally begged him in the past, but he is not interested. he thinks because he had him for 5 weeks (years ago) and set him on the right path that I should be able to do the same. He thinks I should be the one...
