[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 760322, member: 15032"] Hi If it were me and I knew he was doing "good" I think I would remain silent. in my opinion he owes you an apology before you speak to him again. I don't care if he remembers or not, what he did was over the top disrespectful and just wrong on so many levels. I feel he did this because he has been manipulating you and now you have realized this and are not allowing it any longer and he is mad. That is typical of this behavior profile. I'm not trying to be harsh but honestly I've been through a LOT with our son as you have read here and you have every right to maintain your safe distance and sanity. [I]I can assure you that you will someday have a relationship with your son again.[/I] I KNOW how hard this is. You cannot rush this. He has to [I]feel [/I]you not being in his life. I honestly think that is a big factor of why our son did the work to get better because he and I had been so very close until he went down the wrong path. Last night we were watching a TV program and I made a comment on a character having something bad happen and he said that "you reap what you sow". How true those words are. He had to learn that lesson the hard way along with every other lesson we tried to teach him as parents. Why some have to do things this way is a mystery to me. I will continue to pray for your son because he reminds me of mine in a lot of ways. This can and will get better. Give him the space he needs to do this. Hugs to you. [/QUOTE]
