[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 749079, member: 18516"] Beta, it's okay. Remember to just breathe, slow deep breaths in and out. The important thing to remember is you are moving forward. You have set some boundaries and that is great. It takes time to settle into remembering and standing firm in the boundaries we set. Josh continues to reach out because he know he can still evoke emotions out of you and I would bet money that he's hoping you will cave in and give him what he wants. Good for you for standing your ground. You offered him what you feel you can and that is a place to come to and stay for a while. He countered your offer with his own, money to put down on an apt. You could have caved in but you didn't! You stood strong and that is a victory for you. Been there, done that, have the T-shirt. We have all been right where you are. It's a horrible place to be but this is where we have the power and control. We each have to decide for ourselves when enough is enough and we will no longer allow our emotions to be held hostage by our adult children. Hang in there Beta!! You are so much stronger than you are giving yourself credit for. :notalone::staystrong: [/QUOTE]
