[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 578851, member: 13542"] My goodness, here is my first reaction, YOU'VE DONE EVERYTHING YOU POSSIBLY COULD AND THEN SOME, IT IS TIME TO LET HIM GO. JJJ and Lisa gave you sound advice, get an attorney, make sure you cover all the loopholes, these kids are manipulative and have no conscience so it's up to you to make it legal and airtight. As for the emotional end of it, use your counselling to completely detach yourself from him on all levels and while you're at it make yourself the absolute priority, focus on you and your needs and desires, you've been at this so long you have likely forgotten how to love yourself and take care of yourself. You did all you could, you did a good job, sometimes in spite of wonderful parenting our kids go off the rails and there is nothing we can do. Really hear this, YOU DID ENOUGH. You did it all. You did everything you could. Stop now. Turn around and look at your other kids and yourself and go have a happy, peaceful, calm life now. Good Lord, you deserve it. I'm sending you a truckload of hugs to last 10 years............ [/QUOTE]
