[QUOTE="JayPee, post: 757468, member: 23405"] I'm sorry for your heartache. I can understand you feel "in-the-middle" of this. I don't have the answers necessarily for you except to say maybe wait this out a bit more. Sometimes the answers come while we are waiting. It's not your responsibility to come flying in with your "red cape" on. Maybe just maybe your son's answers lie with having a fresh start somewhere else but still being a part of your life. It doesn't have to be all or nothing. Often times even if our Difficult Child seem like they're ready for change, if we take them in and do as mother's do, coddle and shield them from the consequences of their own actions, he may not have a chance. We mean well but for myself I know I have been crippling to Difficult Child with my enabling and that habit, I'm afraid is ingrained in me and takes constant effort and for thought in every action I take. I'm lead by my feelings most often which are usually not stable and make me weak. Let your emotions subside and then decide. Sending prayers. [/QUOTE]
