[QUOTE="SeaGenieTx, post: 673237, member: 18773"] That is a really good idea Leafy, I do need to change my thinking. I'm just stuck on the last image I have of him with hate in his eyes calling me names as he left. Hard to erase that. And what I can not understand is why he is treating me like this when I was the one who bailed him out of jail and tried helping him. He has never once said I'm sorry or please don't kick me out I screwed up and I will do better. No apologies or remorse whatsoever. I dunno - his anger scares me. I can't trust him and being around him he has been like a bomb waiting to go off. I guess its the drugs cause it sure isn't the happy go lucky kid he was in high school. Even the first time he went to jail he never showed remorse and blamed the cops, said jail was no big deal. I am going to think positive, keep praying and go on with my life. Im focused on eating right and exercising, and making the best if the holidays. I won't make any attempts to contact him or find out where he is. This time will be different. Since he really showed me where he is at mentally and how he could care less about his mom, I have to completely detach and move on. I am going to tell myself he will come around eventually. Thank you Leafy - I have to totally change my mindset and think good thoughts to keep from getting depressed. I need u so I will be posting a lot thru the next several days just for support. Anyone else feel free to chime in! This sure isn't easy but I was in this exact same place this time last year so I realize I have to change my thinking and just get on with my life and not expect anything from him right now. [/QUOTE]
