[QUOTE="Beta, post: 752117, member: 22597"] Wow, this really resonated with me. Wise, you put into words so well what I have intuited within myself and just hadn't been able to articulate. This is something I will need to read and re-read to remind myself of when I am tempted to believe (again) that texting Josh will somehow "this time" reach him. Jaypee--thank you for your kind words and your prayers. Yes, today is his deadline so I'm sure he's either gone by now or leaving. He told my sister he has rented a room. So now he is "out there" but at least my sister and her husband don't have to feel "creeped out" in their own home, which I felt really bad about since I'm the one who asked if he could stay. I think Albatross' husband's reasoning is oftentimes why I reach out to Josh and tolerate some of his abuse. "Some contact is better than none." But I know I pay a price for it--in terms of the mental and emotional fall out from being called whatever names he can come up with. This whole experience we are all going through--it's like a form of mental torment at times. [/QUOTE]
