[QUOTE="Acacia, post: 736511, member: 19832"] tired mama, you’ve gotten great feedback. Be gentle and kind with yourself because you certainly won’t get that from your son. I understand the pull between wanting to help and wanting to totally cut off contact. I am very close to my breaking point with my son, but have not found the strength to totally cut off contact. I do know that no matter what I do, he always wants more, an inch always becomes a mile with only momentary gratitude. We have our own patterns and journeys, and it’s a mother’s nature to want to help her children. But our children are no longer children. my 32-year-old son also got out of jail two months ago and is homeless despite all the help I’ve given him. He texted to tell me he got heatstroke and begged to come to the house to recuperate. I had to say no, I’m at hard. It’s understandable that you slip and admirable that you keep learning and growing.
