[QUOTE="Natsom, post: 665251, member: 19329"] Thank you so much everyone. Your words of experience are so meaningful to me. I haven't sent the letter. He called tonight, I didn't answer. However... I did set up an appointment for next Monday to visit him. This meeting is more for me than for him. I haven't seen him in months, and I know he will look thin and pale. I saw his booking photo, not good. What was it toughlovin said about a Mothers love? That's kind of where I'm at. I will set my boundaries with kindness. If he starts playing his games, I will simply leave. And I'm prepared to do that. No point in arguing. That's how he traps me. I won't allow it. My son has no idea I have set this appointment. I can always change my mind. But for right now, I plan to go. For me. To help me feel better. I know it will be hard. There will be tears on the 120 mile journey home. But it might help me with acceptance. To see him while I'm speaking with him, with the understanding that he is no longer my little boy, but an adult man who has gotten into this situation all by himself. Hugs to all!! [/QUOTE]
