I have an immense amount of respect for you and I totally agree with Achy how strong you are.  I did not know your son had a brain injury. Mine was 12 when he had his surgery. He went back to regular  school and did great academically without an aide to help and guide him so using that as an excuse now at 28 doesn't fly with me. I told him that too.In my state there are all kinds of services for him as well and he's got excellent insurance to utilize for help. Told him that too but he also chooses to not avail himself of these services and programs. Even told him to check himself into Vanderbilt (where all of his medical records are since birth for epilepsy and the brain surgery) for an evaluation and help. He won't do it. He shows zero concern or respect for me and doesn't care one bit what he's put me through and continues to manipulate me with guilt trips. Never, ever says he's sorry either. I could drive two hours to rescue him and bring him home but in a matter of a month, he'd be picking a fight and doing the same old crap to me he was doing 4 years ago when I had enough and drove him to his dad's.I told a friend of mine this morning that it's sad when your only child makes you wish you were dead. That's how tired I am of this entire situation that never gets better. Your words help me keep going so much. I have to keep letting go and letting God. Me stepping in to help now after four years is only going to set everything back. He must suffer so bad that it forces him to change. He tries to manipulate me with guilt to force me to help him and I must stand my ground. I just have to keep praying to God that things will get better and know it's his timing and not mine.Thank you again for being here with us. I cannot tell you how much you help me. May God bless you and I pray things get better with your son too.</blockquote>
