[QUOTE="MichelleC, post: 614254, member: 17427"] Thank you for the suggested readings and support. I'm sure I will be doing a lot of reading and searching for answers. I know that I was right to do what I did - it was overdue. But it doesn't make it easy. Will my son ever see or understand why I did what I did or will he continue to blame others? I can see the person he could be if he would get out of his own way. I can see the future he would have if he would pick option A instead of option stupid. That pains me more than anything. I've never been a helicopter parent (working at a college you learn what not to do immediately). I've always listened and given my boys my suggestions of what they should do and how. Then sat back and let them make their own decision (unless it was harmful to themselves or others). For some reason, my son makes the wrong decision every time then when things go sour he blames someone else. The stress and anxiety of my son finally was too much. His lies and disrespect broke my heart. Today I emailed him and told him that I love him even if he doesn't believe it. I included a list of suggested contacts - social services and SSI. I wished him luck and told him that I will always love him. He can return home once he learns to accept responsibility for his own actions. I will keep posting as things progress. MichelleC [/QUOTE]
