[QUOTE="Acacia, post: 755946, member: 19832"] My heart goes out to you. This is so familiar to me - it could be my 34 year old son you are talking about. I wanted so badly to heal my relationship with my son. I have not allowed him to move in, but nearly every time I opened the door to him by inviting him to a meal, to visit, etc., he turned hostile very quickly and blamed me for his unacceptable behavior. My son is full of resentments and anger. No amount of love, generosity, etc. on my part has softened him. I don't know why, when, how, or if he will ever change. I echo Busy's words that promises and words are cheap. Yes, it breaks my heart when I see him suffer the consequences of his continued bad choices. What I do know is that I that I will not allow my son to be abusive to me, which means at least for now, I have little to no contact with him. Love your son, but love and protect yourself as much as you would him. [/QUOTE]
