[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 617520, member: 13542"] I'm sorry Aud, that is a sucker punch. Often our kids here say mean things to us to hurt us after we do something to protect ourselves and begin the process of detaching from them..........it is not uncommon, but of course, it still hurts. Perhaps this will be a wake up call for him and saying he wants nothing to do with you might end up being a positive thing for you and your daughter. I hope you followed through with the restraining order and changing of the locks. Many of our kids feel desperate when they are finally confronted with being responsible for their own poor choices, it might be a step in the right direction even though it feels bad now. He beat up your daughter so he deserves to be in jail for that. You didn't do anything wrong Aud, he is the one who made the bad choices. I hope you have some kind of a support system for yourself. Family anonymous, NAMI, private therapy, a minister, someone who can nurture and guide you and your daughter through this time. Your son is violent, you must protect yourself. Have you looked into staying elsewhere once he gets out? Do you know when he will get out? I believe you are doing the right thing, you are making good choices, stick with it, nothing will change until you change how you respond. Keep posting and get yourself in supportive environments, do kind things for YOU and your daughter............focus on you................hang in there, we're here for you. [/QUOTE]
