[QUOTE="Acacia, post: 737938, member: 19832"] so glad you joined us in this forum. It’s not unusual to go back and forth on what is the best course of action, especially since our difficult children can put on masks like Jekyll and Hyde. In other words, we can be fooled until we are finally able to see through their masks. Then at least we can see clearly enough to set boundaries. Your fears are legitimate. I have felt the same fears, and that hasoften has kept me enabling. I definitely, personally, would not allow your son into your home given the current circumstances. I understand if you do not judge you for it, but for your own sanity and safety, I think not. I, too, have felt sorrow and the grief of watching the children of my friends prosper and join the adult community. These feelings are natural; we want the best for our children. We want to share the joy of their successes; therefore, when they are off the rails it hurts on a lot of levels. Everything you do to become healthier and stronger, whether your son chooses to change or not, is a model for your son. [/QUOTE]
