[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 704388, member: 18958"] I feel this way, too. My son like your own decided over and over again to not meet his commitments. He knew what the terms were. He believed that by manipulating and lying to us the goal posts would keep moving back and back, to accommodate his choices and desires and convenience, and not ours. Even though for us the commitments were all for him, that he improve his life. There was nothing to benefit us. Finally, M the man I live with said, NO. No more. *This was about the drug test. And I backed him up. My son had to leave (a property we control.) I would not let him even negotiate a return to get his little bit of stuff. That was one week ago, today. He had been here with us for 10 months, after being away over 4 years. My decision felt devastating. He has not called. I drive around our small city looking at him. When a neighbor of another property told me that a homeless person was staying outside, I drove there, and felt crushed that it was not him. This stuff is hard. There is nothing more to say. Just hard. [/QUOTE]
