[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 696918, member: 15032"] I have been thinking about what you said. I don't think that means I'm strong. I think it means I'm weak. I couldn't stand to see what he was doing to himself in front of me. It was killing me. I sent him away as much for me as for him. I just knew he would never make a good life for himself with us. I kept waiting and it wasn't happening. It actually was getting worse in many ways. He wanted to go to Florida because the weather is obviously much nicer than in Illinois but also to get a job and go to school but he has been stuck in the same place emotionally and hasn't really grown much since he got there in March but at least he is having new experiences and learning to take care of himself for the first time in his life. You are very strong that you are letting your son come home. I am terrified to even let mine come home for Christmas and probably will not even though it makes me feel terrible. I feel he has to grow more as a person before I feel comfortable with him coming home for a visit. He is not ready. I am not ready. [/QUOTE]
