[QUOTE="Mattie, post: 635234, member: 18360"] Hi Everyone, There has been an update on the situation some. My son called me tonight and we talked for a bit. He got his last paycheck today from the job he so callously walked out on and is staying at a hotel tonight. He wanted to let me know although I am unsure why because he hasn't cared about my feelings this last week. I think he is starting to realize the ramifications of his mistake and his pride is cracking some. I am not willing to give in or give up just yet. He is talking about perhaps he could stay in a camper in our back yard and throwing hints about that. Nothing is decided no lessons have been learned in my opinion. I don't know what is going to happen. This is going to be where it gets even tougher. I will not let him come home and have a repeat of all that we have already been through and still having no respect. As for my grandbaby being protected. My daughter took him and they both moved out a few months ago. She moved out of state with her fiance. He was absent for a long while and she was staying with me but she forgave him and got back with him and he of course took her and the baby far away from me. He and I do not get along because I have watched him abuse her and her defend him. Another bad situation. She is a great mother and has really turned her life around with the exception of him. He seems to be doing right by her now but being so far away how can I truly tell? We facetime and talk all of the time but that doesn't let me in on how things may really be. The baby seems really happy all of the time and those are the clues that I look for. My youngest son is still here and so am I now. I no longer work for many reasons, him being the main one. I am able to be at home with him. I also talked to my insurance company today- my assigned nurse with them, she is going to have someone call me for a referral to a family therapist. I explained all that was going on and that I needed therapy. I won't go to the same place my son went to because I don't feel that they really cared about him or us.
