[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 222306, member: 1550"] Ropefree, I know that was hard for you so THANK YOU for sharing. Marg is great and caring and loving and gave you such good advice. I could never tell my kids they can never come home either. EVER. They can always come back home, even with their own kids in tow, if times got rough. My mother also said, "Once you leave, you're gone" and it scared me. I also have disabilities and I got married just to feel secure. I also have a mood disorder and some neurological stuff going on. I made my daughter leave (but she went to live with her loving brother). I had to do it because I have younger kids too and she was on drugs and would not get help. Sometimes it is appropriate to make kids leave--that doesn't mean forever---it means until they have gotten help. Sometimes they won't get any help until they go. However, it doesn't seem that your son is that troubled. He is so much like 17 year olds everywhere who think they are all grown up because of the 18 year old-is-legal law. I dont' want to give too much advice. I want to let others do that. But I do want to tell you that now I understand your situation much better and that I know (as we all do) how hard it was for you to share. And I think you have a fine young man and you did a great job. He will see you were looking out for his best interests at about age 23 :) Take care. [/QUOTE]
