[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 567934, member: 4264"] I also think you did right cancelling your travel plans. He sounds in a bad way, and you really don't need nor deserve that. Ultimately, if he isn't stable on medications, a visit would likely be terrible. I've learned the hard way how impossible it is to lead a horse to water, so to speak. I could no more make my mother properly handle medications, than you can make your son. I've also learned the hard way how the best of intentions can not change someones behaviors nor their treatment of us. Right now your son is not treating you well. I think its right for you to stay home, limit those calls greatly, and enjoy your family right at home. It is NOT a reflection of any lack of love or support for your son. It is merely acknowledging that which you cannot change, and choosing healthy interactions in your daily life for your own peace of mind. Guilt helps nobody, not him, and only harms the person feeling unneeded guilt. I hope you have a peaceful holiday. You deserve it that is for sure. [/QUOTE]
