[QUOTE="lostmyson, post: 550913, member: 15208"] Thanks for all of your responses. The past few days I checked this site first thing and it gave me strength to get through the day. Today I brought one of my daughter's friends home from pre-k as her mother had an appointment. When the mother came to pick the girl up and visit was when my son decided to call from jail collect. I did not accept and told her it was a salesman. I am afraid she would not want me to babysit if she knew about my son. I have only known her a few months. Broke my heart to hang up on him but I have told him not to call too often as each call cost $10. So sad to hear LMS has 2 sons with problems. I can relate to you about your husband only allowing son to live in your home because you want that. Know you really don't want it but fear the consequences in the real world where there is no Mommy to care. Mine is a step-dad as opposed to bio dad, but he loves my son and has raised him since kindergarten. I left his dad when he was my daughter's age to get him away from bio dad's alcoholism. How ironic that I now need his sister away from him. Unfortuneately I can't divorce my son and start a new life. I too wanted my son to have the perfect childhood and did all of the "right" things, or so I thought. My son was taken by an ambulance back in Jan. for taking too many Xanex. He didn't even remember until I asked him the next morning why he had a bandaid on his hand. He even drove himself home afterwards. Found out after I got the doctor and ambulance bills. I thought it was an isolated incident and he learned his lesson. Now I look back and wonder how long this has been going on. What a fool I have been. You are right, my son does manipulate me knowing I have a softspot as all mothers do. I also find myself dreading what my daughter will turn out like to the point it is hard to enjoy her innocence and I don't have the optimism about life in general that I used to. If I didn't have my daughter I would not have much happiness in my life at all. She was not planned by us but maybe a higher power gave her to us to keep me afloat. Thanks again everyone for your support. I have been alone in this for too long. Kim [/QUOTE]
