I told my son to leave again. After 24 hours. What am I doing wrong?

[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 660580, member: 1550"] Copa, I am glad he is safe and near you. You do what is right for him, but also yourself. And I think that's exactly what you did and I'm happy for you. The thing with your son, which is different from many other adult kids here, is that he is not a bad person or a hardcore drug addict. He is just failing to thrive. That is really tough. We have only a few adult kids here who are not abusing hard drugs yet are not willing or able or are scared to grow up and honestly I don't know what anyone would do with that. I think it is varied. If only he would take the first step...that would be so awesome. Just a first time part-time job that he keeps for a year, then on from there. I am crossing my eyes, fingers, toes and arms for you and your son. I can tell you both love one another very much without the betrayals that have happened with some adult kids, such as stealing or assaulting you. Those are no-brainers. Your son is sort of a question mark and I think whatever you do needs to feel good to you. You matter. Your feelings and needs do matter. Never forget that. I am back. I am skipping the fireworks tonight (Buddha Baby tired me out, but was great) and I'm here now and may post on our other thread. I have some thoughts that Princess gave me about Goneboy that I had not known about him. Nobody really knew him. That's sort of what Princess was trying to say. VERY secretive. VERY self-involved. I realize now he was never as well-adjusted as he looked, much hlike many people out there. He, in fact, was not well-adjusted at all. Princess refers to him as "a robot...he has no emotions," Poor young man. He has been through a lot and didn't show it so nobody addressed it. At any rate, will post more about it in Family of Origin Thread when I get my thoughts together. You be good to you. Hope you and M. see those fireworks and enjoy them! :) [/QUOTE]
