[QUOTE="Sherril2000, post: 669712, member: 18767"] CrazyinVa, I'm just now reading your response. I'm in total agreement with you about hope. Every time I dare to hope he's doing better, I just get pulled back into the manipulation again. I love the idea of "wrapping him a childhood blank i.e. And turning him over to God." I'm going to remember that when I'm at my lowest, it will give me comfort. I'm learning. UpandDown, God bless you. I'm so sorry for the verbal abuse your son is inflicting. You have every right to put up boundaries and withdraw from therapy if he's just using it to inflict more abuse on you. It's hard I know, because all this goes against what we know as "good parenting" with our other "less difficult" children. Don't give him the opportunity to pull you in to those conversations. You don't deserve that. The real problem with my own son is that he can be so sweet and lovable, that I "dare to hope", and the cycle repeats itself. I'm doing just what Child of Mine suggested. I love the responses she scripted for conversations with her son. Positive, but in no way enabling. You're right. Today is a new day and it's time for me to make permanent changes. [/QUOTE]
