[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 758206, member: 15032"] Hi there How has your week been? I hope that you have put some distance between yourself and your son. He needs time to be alone and think about his behaviors. For my son it took years (!) before he realized what a mess he was making of his life. It is hard to accept that your son is manipulating you (it was for me too) but you have to accept it. Like I have said before, when they are acting like this they do not CARE AT ALL about how this affects us, their mom, the person that loves them more than anyone on the face of the earth!! I know now, looking back, that my son did not think how his behavior affected me at all. It is hard to accept at that time but looking back I know the truth. The good news is that now my son cares so VERY MUCH about how I feel about him, towards him, and his choices. I honestly never thought we'd get here but we did. He says that I disowned him. Yes I did for some time and I don't apologize for it. I think he now understands that I had to do it because I loved him too much and it hurt me too much to see him that way. I do hope that things are going better insomuch as you are better able to cope and detach. [/QUOTE]
