[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 632092, member: 17269"] Oh Child, I am so sorry for your aching heart. I know without a doubt that you are doing the right thing. My difficult child also sometimes asks to come home to sleep..I have let him do it often in the past, but not for the last year or so...I have always been so committed personally and as a parent to the idea that sleep is one of the most important things, it is incredibly hard to not offer that solace, that comfort. Your baby in a bed again. I love to watch my children sleep, I love to even watch my animals sleep...how then can we turn away our sons. But really, we must. You did. I have and will. You can't be the answer to his problems. And it won't stop with just a nap or an overnight, we know that too...but even if it did, he has to has to has to understand that only his actions will change the course of his life...not his mom's loving broken heart. Pray for comfort. Turn to SO, Al anon, the board. Watch a good movie on TV and cry your eyes out. Don't change your mind. You are doing the right thing, as a parent, as a person. I am so sorry.
