[QUOTE="Lil, post: 657551, member: 17309"] Okay...This is all I can say about this. If your sister, friend, or any other woman on this board posted this, and then said "I'm considering giving him a ride back to Illinois, where I LIVE." - What would you tell her? Seriously, what would you think? Never mind he's your son. He's a MAN. A grown man - and was a grown man then - who nearly KILLED you. That's all you need to keep in mind to make this decision. It isn't really. It's hard not to look at any of our children and not wonder what's happened. I do it still. And as for keeping you in a state of terror and still putting up with it...well lets face it...no mother wants to admit her son has behaved like a monster. I've certainly wondered what I did. I've wondered how I went wrong. Most of the time I realize that it wasn't me. But it really is kind of always there...this little voice in the back of my mind...wondering if I could have changed the outcome if I'd done this or that differently. But you know what? There are lots of people out there who truly were terrible parents. There are people on this very board who's parents treated them terribly. They did not turn to drugs and alcohol. They didn't steal or assault people. You have two sons. I doubt you treated them differently. I doubt you abused your D.C. and lavished praise on the E.C. Therefore, logically, you are NOT at fault. Hold on to that with both hands. It is not your fault. Don't you even think of shutting up. We're here when we need you. :) I hope you have a quiet and calm day. [/QUOTE]
