[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 627002, member: 17542"] JKF. when my son was homeless (has been homeless four different times for a period of time so far), one day he texted me 262 times. They were all dots....... and question marks....because I had set a boundary that I was not going to answer him---having already said what I had to say and telling him that---for 48 hours. This is what they do, JKF. It is crazy-making. I could not block my son's texts so I had to see them, which was hard, but I didn't have to respond. Also, I wrote down what my responses would be so I didn't get engaged in a back and forth that went nowhere. These are on my best days, JKF. Other days, I would fall right into the trap. One time he told me his cord broke and he couldn't charge his computer and he had 23% left on his battery. And I bit. I caved in. That's okay too JKF. We do the best we can. Peace is our goal. Whatever brings us peace in the midst of THEIR chaos (not ours) is what we should work toward. Hugs and prayers to you. [/QUOTE]
