[QUOTE="So Tired, post: 135643, member: 4772"] I Keep Praying, I'm so sorry for your pain. Mine turned 18 in Nov. Got the "shape up or ship out" speech a few weeks ago after we found he had been drinking in our home in the middle of the night (again!) He left Saturday night to spend the night with some of his so-called friends at flop house they all got together to rent. I have not spoken to him since. Total radio silence.He took nothing but his beloved X-box and the clothes he was wearing. It is hard, Praying, to turn off all those years of "mommying". It is hard not to know if he is O.K. Has he eaten? Is he sick? In jail? Just on a bender? BUT I must say the last 3 nights have been blissfully peaceful. No wondering when and IF he's coming home. No big fights about house rules and his lack of respect. My husband, easy child and I just go about our lives. We eat a peaceful dinner, play board games together, put her to bed, and then lock the deadbolts and go to bed. NO DRAMA, NO FIGHTS, NO HAVING TO LOCK UP ALL OUR STUFF! I love having a normal life! The battle you are waging with difficult child s*cks the energy out of you and the whole household. I wish you strength, Praying, and send you caring thoughts. [/QUOTE]
