[QUOTE="allydem, post: 458034, member: 12714"] This is exactly my biggest fear, that he'll hate me for the rest of his life because he will interpret my actions as me turning my back on him. Have you ever felt ingratitude from you difficult child even though you've turned yourself inside out? Short of physically pouring blood for him, I have been at my wits end wracking my brain wondering where I failed him in his upbringing. He left once before to go live with his father (who he was estranged with for 9 yrs) in another town only to return after 4 months claiming he missed the city. I told him then that one slip up would kick him out of the house. He promised he was going to walk straight from that point on. When I took him back in, it appeared for a while that he was getting his life back in order. It only lasted a short while before he started falling back into the same old routine. I really thought that by reconnecting with his father he would get the guidance needed to rebuild his fragile self esteem but instead, he's only become worse! Nevertheless, tomorrow he returns from his contract job in another city and it'll be time to face the music. Thank you to everyone who has given me such insight to your personal stories. It means so much. [/QUOTE]
