[QUOTE="Smithmom, post: 740314, member: 23371"] Yes its drama for sure. What I hated about having my older two at home. I just hate drama but my middle one thrives on it. To each his own. If intense means you talk to your friends all day every day then once a day or once in a while isn't you. It may be Elsi and I but its not you. Your balance may be different. But what is your son's balance. If one of mine texted me all day I'd lose my mind. If I had a lot of anger I might say something hurtful. Where is your son's comfort level? The balance is not only your ability to tolerate the pain and frustration of contact vs knowing he's OK but also how much contact works for both of you. Multiple things to juggle simultaneously. I also routinely tell my son to stop texting/ calling me and that I'm not answering or even reading the texts. When he gets out of control that's all I can do. He's not here so I don't have to kick him out. But I also don't have to be emotionally and verbally abused. Yes, his neurological status at work. But he needs to and refuses to find other ways to handle himself. Out of my control. [/QUOTE]
