[QUOTE="pasajes4, post: 735206, member: 12856"] All of us have gone to the "I should have done things differently. I could have done better wall". We do the best we can with what we know at the time. None of us can predict the actions of others. Our children can choose their own path in life. So can we. A good friend told me years ago that we can't control some of the things that happen to us when we are children, but as adults it is our job to find a way to heal from those things. Your son must find a way to heal. He is using his anger to manipulate and control you. You threaten for the umpteenth time to throw him out. You don't. The game continues. He knows he can get away with his behavior. Do not threaten what you are not willing to follow through with. It gives him all the power and in turn he loses all respect for you. You become his doormat. Many of us have been where you are. Nothing changes if nothing changes. I wish you peace and love. This is not for the faint of heart. You are a surviivor. You overcame. You made a life for yourself. Your daughter is overcoming and finding a life for herself. This is what Warriors do. Polish your armor and soldier on. [/QUOTE]
