[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 740835, member: 18958"] That's the right attitude!! Bart does not mean to ruin your life. You know that. He is just a wreck right now and prefers to make you a wreck instead of taking responsibility. Not too different than my own son. Just a different model. You have all of the power. It's good he is not calling--and that you will be unavailable. That way you can decide the terms YOU choose for when you return. Right now he is wanting to play both sides of the tennis game and if you want to even try to serve he breaks his racket and sits down on the court and cries. He is acting like a big baby. So when you come back you can decide what game you will play with him, when and how often, and you can think about the rules. I would not tell him. I would make an agreement with myself and write it down and keep the promise to myself. At least that is what I would try to do. Remember when my son was away two or three years ago and I was doing so good, doing that? It feels like a lifetime ago. [/QUOTE]
