[QUOTE="DDD, post: 598440, member: 35"] Sorry this is short......and to the point. on the other hand I have to tell you that you have already given your best shot and your difficult child is not going to follow the path you hoped for. Yes, I have an Ex who had no patience with our son and in fact focused almost solely on himself BUT he was a change. Your difficult child needs change. It if means he opts to hang out with strangers...so be it. I am assuming he is a legal adult. If I were you I'd write a brief note saying "I know you can make a new life for yourself that will be happier and healthier. I will, and always have, love you. The choices have to be yours now." Love, Mom ..........and then I'd get in the car and head home with my cell phone turned off. I'm sending supportive hugs your way. I have never had to "drive away" and I'm sure it is going to be difficult BUT it gives your son a chance to "own" his choices. Keeping you in my prayers. DDD [/QUOTE]
