[QUOTE="Sunlight, post: 607002, member: 97"] I have told Ant that it is his choice how he lives and he also at one point told me that prison was easier than real life. (I know that wasn't true, but it is so like him to say stuff like that when discouraged. ) I told Ant that I have a choice of how I live my life, too. He is never allowed to live with me and expected to sink or swim on his own. he doesn't like that concept, but I figure that one day I will be dead and Ant will be on his own anyway so he might as well learn now that his safety net has been removed. It makes him mad at me but he does do better when pushed to the wall and has to fend for himself. Once they have been in prison, there is always that cloud hanging over that you hope they do not regress. The whole experience brings pain to the extended family as well. You truly have said all there is to say to your son. Everyone is trying harder than he is to make a better life for him. It is sad and I am sorry for his choices that bring you this sadness. Even so, you deserve a peaceful life. May God intervene in his life. He is an adult, take care of you. ((HUGS)) [/QUOTE]
