[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 706171, member: 17720"] I'm so sorry, T Rene. No, this is not the child you nurtured and guided. That person is not in control right now. I am glad he is not in your home. I am glad you told him not to come back. Please stay safe. As far as feeling like you don't know who you are anymore, I know just how you feel and have felt that way so many times. I feel like I have been cast in an impossible role, because striving to be the mother I want to be with a person who acts like my son does not work. I am forced to be the mother I am not. I lose sight of who I am. When I get caught up in this kind of maelstrom, it helps me to remember that not only do I not control the outcome, I don't even FORESEE the outcome. I can only do the thing I think is best. I can only be the parent, and the person, I strive to be. [/QUOTE]
