[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 589823, member: 15801"] OH AG I am sorry, it is all so heartbreaking. My one piece of advice is to do what you can to stay out of power struggles... if he sits outside your house then just let him sit there... if he is acting up then yes call the cops. So if he does text you or call you to being clothes then dont argue about where to bring them, just bring them. The best piece of advice I got was from a therapist when we first kicked my son out.... she told me to stay in touch, let him know I love him but keep clear he cant come home. He didnt call for a couple of weeks while I went crazy.... but when he got in trouble he called. So my goal since then has been to keep letting him know I love him but wont enable him. And I think that has helped both me and him. It helps me with any guilt because I know he knows we love him and I have shown that to him in many ways.... and in some sense I think it helps him to know we are there and we love him but that we will help him when he is ready for help. And at least for the moment he is getting help and so we are there for him. *TL [/QUOTE]
