[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 619479, member: 13882"] Hi there and welcome, I read your original post, and it's a heartbreaker. FWIW, you did the only sane and safe thing you could do, not only for you and your younger son, but for difficult child too. Now that difficult child has had a bit of time and distance to reflect, it seems like he's genuinely contrite. Many of our difficult children are great manipulators, and know exactly what to say to push our buttons and melt our hearts, they're great players. I have some "scar tissue" around my heart for all the times my difficult child played me, and let me tell you, I take everything with a grain of salt. You're under no obligation to respond to his email, but if you want to make contact, perhaps you might answer with something brief, such as, "I love you, and always will. I want you to get the help you need, and am willing to work with you on that when you're sure you're ready." My heart goes out to you - I wish you and your family peace and healing. [/QUOTE]
