[QUOTE="Just so tired, post: 672860, member: 19794"] Natsom, I agree with others that your letter is good but only for yourself. It doesn't matter how rational we think we are, our sons just don't see it that way. Best to keep this letter for yourself. You make the rules on how many times you will except his calls etc. If they get out of hand in any way you simply hangup. Remember this is your "dime" that is paying for the calls. My son is not a kid (45 yr old) and obviously I have no control at all. But I do have control over myself. Believe me it has taken years to put into play some of my own advise. Who I feel bad for are others who are still manipulated by him. And that tells me he has not and will not change. Please do not be too hard on your self. I'm sure you did the best you could raising your son> him saying you are inconsistant is just a way to control you with more guilt. Don't buy in. Hang in there. This is a very hard road to travel as parents [/QUOTE]
