[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 688015, member: 18958"] TL. I like how you think. Some parents seem to get frozen in a fairly harsh and rigid, even blaming posture. I can understand it, because there has been a history of real abuse by their children. But the problem is, it seems to me that the parent suffers as much as the child, sometimes unaware of how much. I was there too. I felt I had to be. Did I really? I am not sure. Being open is the hardest thing, because the hurt comes in, and because our kids (mine) perceives open as weak, and open to manipulation by him. I am in bed today. I feel sick at heart. My son was supposed to come here and give me the keys to the house. It was a plan he came up with in order to have one more night at the house where we have been letting him stay. He is a no show.
