[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 686380, member: 18958"] Actually, yes. I say that, with my son in the next room. He is back here with me after 4 and a half years away. He was homeless during much of that time, got on SSI, was hospitalized multiple times, etc. During that time he has learned a great deal about moderating aggression and controlling his behavior. When our children become adults their primary caretaking relationship is with Society. This country offers help to disabled people, financial, treatment, services, education. I allowed my son to stay at home until he was 23 even after he broke my foot, disrespected me multiple times, and did all manner of other things to break my spirit and trample my soul. I thought it was my responsibility to care for him until he cared for himself. I was so, so wrong. Our children need to engage society with their attitudes and their uncontrolled emotions and it is society that will teach them to moderate their behaviors. It will never happen with mothers. Absolutely, I refuse to take sh-t from my child. It is very hard because I love him and I want him to thrive. It has taken a lot of courage to re-engage. Frequently I question the correctness of having him close in. I do not want to throw him out again. But I will if I have to. [/QUOTE]
