[QUOTE="Nature, post: 687333, member: 19011"] Hi Walrus, All wonderful post regarding your question and here's my take on it. You come across as a very warm and kind hearted person and have sadly been subjected to abuse from an adult child. It is okay to say, "I'm done". I've said those words previously regarding my son. It is extremely difficult but it was more so being subjected to being the target of his rages, abusive behaviour, lack of respect and then eventually physical abuse. It is true that what we allow our Difficult Child to say to us we would not tolerate from strangers or friends. Allowing it to continue leaves us with battered souls and our self esteem suffers as a result. You are right in your choice and doing so does not make you a bad mom but rather a healthy parent. Hugs from me Walrus. [/QUOTE]
