[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 668376, member: 15801"] I think my situation was somewhat different but when we kicked my son out at the age of 18 (after he threatened to bash my teeth in) I was feeling pretty angry and upset. I was seeing a therapist at the time and I was of the mind that I would just wait and let him contact me. Her comment to me was that then he probably won't... you have kicked him out and his pride will keep him from contacting you. Her suggestion was that I text him every couple of days.... simple things iike I am thinking of you. Definitely not to invite him back home, but to open the door to communcation. I took her advice and did that. I did not hear back from him the first tew times but when he was arrested he called us. We have travelled many miles in this journey since then with many ups and downs.... but I am really thankful to that therapist for that advice because I think keeping the door open to our relationship I think was really important. So my thought for you is to think about ways you can keep the door open without giving up who you are, and without accepting abuse from her. [/QUOTE]
