[QUOTE="Lil, post: 638181, member: 17309"] No, I couldn't do that, for all the reasons Jabber said. I'm the one who actually said, "Pack your bags." It [I]had[/I] to be me. I've always been the easy touch, the one that would forgive him, the one that would give him money, the one that was willing to let him keep his car and to give him chance after chance. I don't have any choice but to be the one to say "Done" if there's to be any chance of peace. Jabber's right. If I don't, he'll just call me and call me and I'll never hear the end of it...and he'll think I'm "siding" with his dad, instead of being united. Oh Honey! It's weird doing this on-line, but we're both at work. :( After all the times you've reassured me he loves me, when I've said I didn't believe it, I guess it's my turn. But, I'm not at all sure he loves either one of us..at least not like a son should love his parents. Maybe it's just selfishness, he cares so much about having what he wants that he doesn't care that what he is doing hurts other people? I just don't know. So...right now I'm still thinking the shelter is his best bet. Their website says: [B]****is a 40-bed shelter for homeless men, women and families with children. In fact, it is the only shelter in our area where parents and their children, along with single men and women can live and work to overcome their homelessness.
