[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 706397, member: 1550"] I love my son in St. LOUIS, BUT I don't really like him and he could never stay with me in my house again. I feel bad saying that truth because my daughter is here this weekend and she didn't even have to ask if she could stay...she knows she can. But my son is very hard to get along with and would have to stay at a hotel. I have learned not to keep repeating mistakes. He has not lived with us since he used to scare me and I made him leave. I am even secretly glad he lives far away although I wish I saw my grandson more. But my heart isn't broken over it as I have only seen my grandson maybe six times in my life (he is eight and son won't drive him to Chicago to meet us halfway)...and there is no easy way to get to St. Louis from where WE LIVE.... and I know what I can and can't handle and what I'm willing and not willing to put my loving, kind husband through. Things are different between my difficult son and me and my other very caring adult children. They have to be. I hope your visit goes well. I believe though that you have to have a a Plan B in case it doesnt. Without a lot of therapy and insight people normally don't change so take good care of yourself and guard your heart. If she is one of the women here that is borderline...remember how that could affect the visit. Don't expect miracles. It can break your heart. Lots of good wishes and gentle hugs. [/QUOTE]
