[QUOTE="Beta, post: 750839, member: 22597"] JayPee, I applaud you for what you've done with your older son. I know very well that feeling of wanting to swoop in and rescue and protect. I also know those moments when you imagine and dwell on what they might be feeling, in a sense, "feeling" their feelings for them. This always takes me to a dark place, and so I'm trying to gradually wean myself away from doing that. At times, I have to work hard to pull my thoughts elsewhere. We put Josh up at a motel two weekends ago. It was expensive because it had to be close to where my sister lives, and she lives in an affluent suburb of Denver. By the middle of the week, he had begun disparaging us again, and yesterday I received numerous texts from him, telling us how much he despises us, how other people despise us, how we've let him down his entire life, and on and on. Today I'm feeling angry with myself for spending money on someone who can say those things. My husband said last night, "It's time to get off the "Josh Train." He's right. So I think you are doing what needs to be done both for yourself and your son. [/QUOTE]
