[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 466045, member: 1514"] Hugs. It sounds to me like you did every little thing you could have possibly done to make him happy but you know, you are here to love him unconditionally but your job isnt to make him happy, that is his job. He has to find his own happiness in life. I know I made that mistake with my boys. I wanted to make them happy all the time. I felt if they werent happy I wasnt doing a good job. I cannot imagine how hard it is for your son to simply walk away and not look back. I would be furious and sad and a whole ton of other emotions all at once. Lots of "how dare he's" would be going through my mind. Honestly for right now, I think you need to give him exactly what he is giving you...nothing. Focus on your kids at home. They need you now. Nurture them. Spend time with them. Let difficult child work out his issues on his own. Remember the Prodigal Son. [/QUOTE]
