[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 742520, member: 18516"] Been there, done that, have the T-Shirt! Many years ago I shared things with my son only to have him not keep my confidence and use what I had shared with him against me. As the saying goes, live and learn. When I do communicate with my son I share very little about my life. For me it came down to acceptance. Yes, I have forgiven my son over and over and over. What really helped me to move on was to accept that he is who he is and he chooses what he chooses. I do not like the way he lives his life, I do not like the choices he makes but I have come to accept that it is what is. I love him, I don't like him, I accept that he is not and probably never will be the kind of man I had hoped he would turn into. Acceptance has afforded me so much peace. [/QUOTE]
