[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 429338"] Rainbird, it is painful and said but it is not final!! Nothing with an 18 year old is final. 2 months ago my son decided to come back to this state very much against our wishes. We had an awful conversation by phone and I thought I would not hear from him for a long long time. He was very angry at me. I had not seen him for 6 months while he had been in rehab.... well a couple of weeks ago he asked to meet me for lunch. Yes he needed something and yes he only contacts me when he needs something and no we do not have a great relationship right now BUT the door is open, we have contact and I see him occasionally. This is a time in their life when a lot is changing and they need to move away from their parents and if they are difficult children well it is usually very messy.... but nothing is forever at this age. So don't give up hope for the future and in the mean time take care of you. [/QUOTE]
