[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 372962"] Oh Dash it is so darned hard and it sounds like you are doing a great job and exactly what you need to do. The best advice my therapist gave me when we kicked my son out in June was to do our best to keep the communication lines open and keep letting him know we love him BUT continue to be clear he can't come home. Within the last few days some very bad things have happened where he is staying....with some people getting beaten up and hurt. Luckily my son was not physically hurt. Anyway I think he is not going to be able to stay there any longer. Meanwhile we are now on vacation thousands of miles away. Thank Goodness for internet access in hotels and text messaging. BUT my son has decided to go back to the TBS for a while and I am going to make an airline reservation today. There is no way he would have decided this if he was still living at home. I think he had to find out that being on his own in a different environment did not necessarily go all that well either. Of course i have no idea what the outcome will be but I do know that his best chance right now is to go back to the TBS where he was successful and get back on track. So you are doing a great job. Hopefully your ex will figure it out soon but at least you are beign clear with yourself and your daugther. [/QUOTE]
