[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 304666, member: 1436"] As hard as it is, it is now time for you to completely detach. He needs to learn that his actions bring about consequences that he has to face alone. That is not easy to do. It is hard to watch your child struggle because of the bad choices he has made, but as a parent if you continue to run to his rescue when he makes these choices, you will be doing it again and again, and each time he will be unappreciative and hurt you again. Take back control of your life. Allow him to step up and control his. He will call soon--he will apologize, he will want you to fix this mess he has made. He will cry, he will beg, he will get angry and call you horrible names and say nasty things. Hold firm. Somewhere on the board is a list of responses you can memorize and use at that time. You need to get out of bed and pick up the pieces of your life. You need to lead by example. No one else is responsible for our happiness. Show him that his actions will not affect the joy you have in living your life to the fullest. [/QUOTE]
