[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 638501, member: 1550"] Lil, I truly believe they respect us more when we demand to be treated well. I have never had to go no contact with my kids. When Julie was doing drugs, she was still basically a very good person and I stayed in touch as much as I could. She was angry. But you know what? She got over it. She knew why I did what I did. 37 has been on "low contact" many times. As long as he can be a kind, respectful person we can talk every day. If he can't, well, I give him a "time out." If he gets angry, I don't really care. He has to figure that out. The ten years he was married I almost never heard from him because his life was stable and he had his wife telling him what decisions to make. As soon as she left him, he suddenly came back because he needs somebody to tell him what to do, although he won't listen and will get abusive. My son can not live with me ever again. Actually, I feel it is best if grown children live elsewhere from their parents. I would let my other kids come back short-term if a catastrophe left them homeless, but 37 can be dangerous. He can not ever live with me again. The distance has been golden. He used to always call me with various reasons to take him to ER before that. [/QUOTE]
