[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 678407, member: 17542"] Hi LS, sometimes...when we have done all we can do...and they refuse to let us participate with them at all, like your son is doing, pushing you back...I think we need to let it be. Can you let go and just let him be for a while, regardless? He is making choices. He will have to live with those choices, until he decides differently. It's so hard so know these details, so can you step back for a few days or a week or two, and just enjoy your peace? It is what it is, and you have set a new boundary with your recent past experiences. This you know: He will not be back to your home. I hope you can rest in that knowledge that you have a sanctuary now of peace that he cannot penetrate. He is going to do whatever he does. You aren't part of that. I know you love him and want the best for him, but I have found that my son's path to a better life was not going to be facilitated by me. I had tried to help him for many years, and all that did was impede his progress. Me letting go was the best thing I could have ever done for me or for him. After that is when he started doing better. We're here for you. [/QUOTE]
