[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 702923, member: 13542"] Jodie, your son's response is a typical one around here. He may or may not get to a point where he can actually hear how much his actions harmed others......but regardless of his ability to own the truth, the truth is that he has done incredible harm to you and to your family. Because he won't own that, doesn't make it any less true. I have written many letters to my daughter and as long as I gave up any expectation that she would hear me, they all served to help me to heal. As Jetsam mentioned, you might decide not to send it to him, or you might send it, that's up to you. Don't allow your son to dictate to you what he is willing to hear......too bad.......we all have to take responsibility for our actions, that is being a grown up adult. [/QUOTE]
