[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 619213, member: 17542"] After you have a chance to think it over...maybe a very simple, short reply. You can thank him for the thoughtful email. Tell him you would like to talk things over with him at some point in the future, when he has gotten his life together and you've both had time to think through this period. Then tell him you love him and sign off.

Keep it at the 40,000-foot level instead of responding to each thing/anything that he said specifically. I hope you are able to start seeing the benefit of detaching a little bit. Once you are able to see some good healthy space between you and your son, and some time goes by, you will experience more and more peace, calm and serenity, regardless of what he is doing. Just keep moving forward, even if it's inch by inch. Take care...best to you today. [/QUOTE]
