[QUOTE="Fairy dust, post: 758685, member: 25457"] We had to remove our son from our home when he was 15. Things became far too volatile and verbal outbursts on his part had escalated to physical violence towards me, his father and younger sister. Not to mention the house being wrecked by his outbursts, things broken, stolen. And the many police visits which ensued. As his mother this was the hardest decision ever made but I knew that if we did not do this intervention one or all us would be dead. We got him his own place and helped him as much as we could. Several years later he was allowed to move back on the premise he finish his high school and no drugs. The honeymoon lasted 6 months and the same dynamics began again. in his 20s he was finally diagnosed with mental health issues and addictions to drugs. We have always tried to be there to help him but he marches to his own drum. I. Could never again live with him and have to focus on not getting sucked into his drama or the poor choices he has made. He too is very high IQ But also manipulative. Through this group and much personal therapy I have had to learn to set strong boundaries, and step out of his way. those who have never walked this path have no way of understanding the pain, torment and guilt we parents have gone through. Stand tall, know you are a good parent and don’t listen to the advice of people who pretend to understand. They just can’t! We do! [/QUOTE]
