[QUOTE="witzend, post: 134772, member: 99"] You don't have to keep explaining it. "No" is a complete sentence. When you tell yourself "he's not coming home", do you have to explain it to yourself, or do you know why? He knows why too. Stay out of it, and when he tries to get you involved just say "no". He'll figure it out. What has any of this got to do with you? Stop torturing yourself by talking to his PO/PD/therapist etc. It's really none of your business. He's a grown man and you have another child to raise who deserves a lot more from you than they are getting because you are wasting your efforts on difficult child. When he writes letters, just keep telling [i]yourself[/i] no. Then it will roll right off your tongue when you actually have to talk to him about it. "No. You're a grown man and you made your own decisions that got you into jail. Figure it out for yourself." I say, if he can do it, more power to him. If he fails, too bad. But what does it have to do with you? He's in prison. You're not. End of story. [/QUOTE]
