[QUOTE="in a daze, post: 587592, member: 15832"] (Quote) If any of you have a child in their late teens who is going through this, NOW is the time to get tough. Don't go along for years with the hope that that person will wake up as if it was all a bad dream. Get tough, get real, and be strong. My situation has brought me to a very painful but necessary choice. Not letting him talk to me is heart breaking. I really miss him, but it is something I need to do for my own growth and recovery. What puzzled me the most was his sister's cold response to my actions. With Nancy's comments and the comments of others, it is clear that I have upset the apple cart and subsequently, caused everyone to reevaluate their choices of how to respond to him. I hope you never have to get to where I am, but if you do, don't hesitate to do it. Having a little chance is better than no chance.
