[QUOTE="tryingtobestrong, post: 744057, member: 22817"] I have never been a strong person. I hate confrontation. My son has manipulated me for many years. His father, my husband never really connected with him or did anything with him. He was bullied and I know hurt by his fathers actions, so I felt sorry for him. I gave in to him for so many years. I know I have to say no I will not pay for that, no that is your responsibility, but then I get manipulated. He twists his words around and makes it look like I am the one that has the problem. I don't want to be in this life anymore. I told my husband to take over so we will see. Today, my son left treatment because our insurance refused to pay for his residential treatment. I am now looking at a very large bill due to the insurance feeling like he didn't need to be in residential treatment to get grounded again. His team of doctors pleaded his case and still the insurance is saying no. He relapsed worse than ever, he was self harming, he is extremely depressed and this is what they do. The next relapse may not have a recovery for an ending. He was told it is a death sentence to go back to living alone. Still is refusing sober living. A therapist was suggested for him to see along with his recovery coach. We will see. I hope I can be strong. I have never been a strong person. Never. He is not my youngest and no I am not having issues with an empty nest. He has always been a bull headed strong willed child/adult now. He lives across the US from me so I am not even near him.
