[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 764454, member: 18958"] I am in this place, too. My son came for Christmas, and within a couple of hours, my friend M, took him to his house, because I could not bear it. And on Christmas when they came back, I asked him how much money he needed to leave, I gave him a hundred, and bought his train ticket out of town. I felt horrible. Not that I did that. I only saved myself. But the sadness and despair was so great. I feel like I am wrecked. When it is him, whose life is a wreck. I am wondering now if the only way to survive this is no contact at all. Because if our children live intolerably, (my son lives on the street--and I blame myself for that...) how can we expect ourselves to tolerate them? Isn't it kinder all around to tell the truth, rather than to keep trying something that is unbearable? And if it's your child? [I]What kind of a mother feels nothing for her child?[/I] [/QUOTE]
