[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 748708, member: 15801"] Hi Mom1967....The first time we kicked our son out was when he was 18 (he is now 27). At the time I was angry, he was angry etc. A therapist told me to do exactly what you are, text him now and then letting him kow I still love him even if he doesnt respond. Otherwise he would do anything not to contact me. I didnt hear from him for 2 weeks but then he got in trouble and called us. We have been through many dramas and cycles since then but we have always tried to keep letting him know we love him. I think at this point he believes it. Things are still up and down although he is doing better than in the past. This mothers day he sent me a beautiful text message saying he loved me and thanking me for all the support and love we have given him. So you are not at the end of the journey.... there will be more ups and downs probably. But keep letting him know you love him while still setting boundaries with him. TL [/QUOTE]
