[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 657498, member: 13542"] BG, the shame is his to bear, not yours. He is the one making poor choices, he is the one who painted himself into this corner. There is no shame nor guilt in setting boundaries around destructive behavior that is hurtful to you. That is self esteem, that is self care, that is appropriate and healthy. This is the person who put you in the hospital. You are making a choice based on past experience. There is nothing for you to feel guilty or ashamed about. It is sad when our kids act out in this way. But you didn't create this and you can't fix it. You didn't do anything wrong BG. Do not allow yourself to continue down the road of guilt. As Erma Bombeck said, "guilt is the gift that keeps on giving." [I]Cut it out.[/I] [/QUOTE]
