[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 605690, member: 1550"] I don't think it's unreasonable to allow him on the property, if he is NOT destroying it or using drugs in your view, or giving him water or a sandwich (I wouldn't over do). At least there is peace in your home, which is your goal. Your goal, as RE, who I call Ms. Compassion, has said you can not change him. Only he can do that and if he does it will be because he gets tired of himself and he wants to. You can't do it for him. At the same time, is it not time to move on with YOUR life? It is not fair to put your own life on hold because of your child's bad choices. You have more family than just him, friends, hobbies, activities you love, things you've always wanted to do...now is the time! DO THEM. Treat yourself kindly. You may, besides NAMI, want to go to AA or NA if your son is a substance abuser. There is a lot of good common sense and loving support in those groups too. I wish you well and hope you can learn the difficult task of detaching with love. [/QUOTE]
