[QUOTE="Sam3, post: 720520, member: 19290"] He tiraded me again after letting him stay his birthday weekend. Dozens of little gems I wish I could erase from my memories -- none of which would win awards for originality on this board, but including accusing me of turning him to harder drugs that would clear more quickly, by testing him; that I flat out parented him wrong; and am a terrible parent to my other children which will bear out with time. Topped off with the least original of all, the "FYou"s and "you're an Fing B". I later received a call from a mom who says she has been housing him for the summer, and judging me for letting that happen and not reaching out to her. And also informing me that his girlfriend's family housed him for a couple months before that. I didn't know he had a girlfriend. I didn't know he was living with that friend and his mom for the summer. He preyed on our emotions by talking about how hard it was to be homeless. not knowing where he was going to sleep from night to night, and sometimes sleeping outside. I know none of these things are unprecedented here. But it feels like something has shifted inside me. Have any of you experienced a point of no return, where you know that you will never forget the lines they crossed even if things can improve somewhat? Like you have been manipulated past the point where you could respect them? Like the sum total of behaviors makes it not just behaviors anymore? That you don't like the person? [/QUOTE]
