[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 184069, member: 3907"] Throw my vote into the "you did the right thing" pile. Those warning bells go off for a reason, and it usually doesn't pay to ignore them. We want so badly with our difficult children to believe that THIS time, things will be different. This time they're not lying or manipulating us, or trying to pull the wool over our eyes. I think our wanting to believe in them so badly is more about grieving our dead dreams for our kids than the likelihood that this time will be different. As I said to my difficult child a few weeks ago, "I can never believe a word you say unless I have independent proof of it from another source. It doesn't even matter that you're telling the truth this time. With your track record, I will always assume you're lying, if all I have to go on is your word." {{{Hugs}}} Jane, I know it hurts.
