[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 677257, member: 18516"] You tried to offer him a solution but of course it wasn't what he wanted to hear. Good for you for ending the conversation when he started swearing at you. Oh I know how you feel. I don't think my son will ever get this either. My son doesn't post on FB often but when he does it affords me a glimpse of how he's doing. He has posted some "positive" stuff and I start to think maybe he's changing, then he will post something that brings me back to reality. He posted a rant about buying some "bad pot" from someone and how he wished this person would die a slow death. Seriously!! Who does that, oh yea, Difficult Child. My son is the same way. Again, same with my son. He only thinks of himself, not those who are helping him. I don't blame you Copa. Last year my son sent me a message that he was wanting to come our way in fall and wanted to see us. I felt sick to my stomach but quickly replied that "yes, I would like to see you too. We can meet for lunch or dinner" He didn't reply and never came. I think he knew by my response that there was no way he was staying here. Your son and mine share many of the same traits and views on how other people should treat them. Copa, I know how you feel. The good thing is you have these 4 months to catch your breath, you have learned some valuable skills. Don't let the fear of him being geographically closer grip you. You know that you can only do what you are comfortable doing. Remember, this is more about you than him. Yes, he's your son and you love him but in the end he has to decide for himself the direction his life will go and even if he makes no decision, that is a decision. It's good that you are thinking through what you are comfortable doing. Most of all Copa, take care of yourself first. ((HUGS)) to you my friend. [/QUOTE]
