[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 564601, member: 3907"] You took a courageous step. It is crucial that we show our children that we will not tolerate this sort of behaviour from them. It's hard, and it hurts, but your job as a parent is to teach him right from wrong, and that includes not putting up with it when he's doing wrong to you. As for a reconciliation, I think the timing is "until". Until your difficult child shows that he will treat you properly, with respect and civility and an acceptance of your boundaries, then you will stay out of touch. It may indeed be forever, or it may not. But if you reconcile any sooner than "until", you will undo everything you've achieved by taking a stand in the first place. Your difficult child will learn that he can wait you out, and he will not take you seriously if you get to this point again. [/QUOTE]
