[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 688373, member: 18958"] Thank you, RE. I am grateful to you, for your kindness. What a great post, Albatross. Thank you for your time and thoughtfulness. I appreciate it deeply. Yes. This is a true thing. With nothing there, really--he is sleeping on a sponge pad, he has made it a home. I feel very ashamed that I kicked him out. When I am so proud of him and love him so much. He has a right to be angry at me. Yes. I think so. I just do not know how to do it. I think it is hurtful to have ejected him into the street. At the same time he has done hurtful things. There has to be a way to make this work. I know. It is very hard. I am very afraid because he has an illness. I am very afraid to lose him. I have also been down the past few years from the illness and death of my mother. I believe sometimes I focus on him and not on myself. Wrong. That is true. I agree. This is the tough part, because M was taking responsibility for so much of the monitoring at work and it was exhausting and frustrating him. So whatever I do give him credit for is best between my son and I directly. I agree. He will have to come up with it and he will have to take responsibility for monitoring it. I agree. Yes. And having it be the most powerful motivator to him. I will think about all of this. I wish he would call me. I wish I could find him. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
