[QUOTE="Shari, post: 125351, member: 1848"] I'm no Dr Phil, but my .02 centsis you are exactly right - you are protecting yourself. And its perfectly reasonable to do so. Heck, in my book, its the RIGHT thing to do. If you really have a changed adult you are dealing with here now, in time, I would imagine you and your son will build a new relationship. Probably different than that of a typical mother/son, but it will be a relationship. I joke that if I were given a typical child to raise, I would fail miserably. I would ignore so many things that are just not worth the hassle with a difficult child that I would, in turn, create a difficult child. While I joke about it, there's a lot of truth in it. difficult child's have an impact on every tiny bit of our existence. Don't be hard on yourself. In fact, pat yourself on the back for seeing a little hope without throwing your heart on the line. [/QUOTE]
