[QUOTE="seo, post: 599801, member: 16528"] Yesterday was my first day of detachment. I got one call in the am from his dad's mother (I didn't answer...she just wants to baby my son and wouldn't understand my unwillingness to help anymore) I didn't get any calls from my son til later in the afternoon...which were calls one after the other for about 45 minutes accompanied by repeated calls from his grandmother (his dads mom) of which I didn't answer....I had the paper with a list of shelters and crisis numbers taped to my front door with his name in it, if he comes by that is all that will be here for him...I am proud that I made it thru my first day... the last contact I had with him was when I sent two text messages in the middle of the nite before last hoping he would read the following morning..I said: I cannot help him anymore, I love him and believe he can do it. and that a library will have computers you can use to search for jobs. .... I read a post by Star that reenforces my decision to detach. I have read several posts from people here, all just bring tears to my eyes....other peoples sadness...... I never thought that things would come to this, but I realize that this is my life and if I want any sort of peace in it I don't have a choice but to not be involved in my sons life. I am better off not knowing. and to add more to my amazement I heard yesterday a rumor that several weeks ago my son was spotted driving a truck which belonged to the family he was then living with......I am 100% sure it must have been without permission,,my son doesn't have a drivers license nor auto insurance. one bad choice after the other.
