[QUOTE="WiscKaren, post: 120592, member: 4507"] By that time I had had enough of my son, I really didn't care how he would make it on his own. Sad to say, but true. The day I (we) told him to get out, we had reached a breaking point -- it was either him or us! I was not going to continue to care for a man who just sat around on his lazy butt, doing nothing but "partying" at night, in and out of the jail/court system, not working or going to school, and screaming in our faces that "you just don't understand"..... It was over. Another thing that gave me incentive was watching my grandmother take care of her 50+ year old son, who drifted in and out of jobs and drank continuously. She was almost 80 years old and still putting up with ****. That was not going to be me one day! Was it easy to kick my son out? Absolutely not. Even though it was a big relief, I cried many, many tears. But there was no other alternative at the time. Do I now regret that decision? Absolutely not! We now have no contact with each other. Maybe one day we will, but at this point in my life, I just can't. Good luck and I wish you nothing but the best. [/QUOTE]
