[QUOTE="Lil, post: 638486, member: 17309"] What Jabber said. The fact is...I don't think either of us want to shut all lines of communication. I don't think literally changing our phone numbers and never speaking to him at all is where we are. Maybe we should be. Maybe we should just shut him out of our lives completely. But I don't think that's doable just yet. Maybe it's the holidays coming. Maybe it's just that...this is the FIRST time we've ever shown him we're serious...It seems wrong to have been lenient and then suddenly just basically disown him. But we have already told our son if he wants us to meet with his counselor, we will. He's still our son. Short of trying to murder one of us, I can't think of much that would make us go totally no-contact. Not initiate contact, yes. Not get in the middle of his business, yes. Not help even if he asks, sure. But not even allow him to contact us at all? I don't think we can do that. Maybe Jabber disagrees with me. [/QUOTE]
