[QUOTE="JayPee, post: 752595, member: 23405"] Beta, I feel your pain. I haven't spoken to my older son, in about 2 1/2 months. The thing that has helped me and I'll share with you because I feel we relate on this level is a quote from the bible: "A hot-tempered person must pay the penalty; rescue them and you will have to do it again." (Prov. 19:19) My sons verbal, threatening abuse has to be on him. If I go back to him too soon because I feel I need to out of forgiveness, he may not have learned his lesson yet and I will only have to repeat and experience his poor behavior again. It's hard waiting this out but in my opinion it must be done. We can forgive them (as we mothers all do) but we shouldn't be so quick to run back to them until we have seen sustained changes. Stay close to to your trust in God. He'll see you through the loss you feel right now over your son. [/QUOTE]
