[QUOTE="Ca Mom Losing Hope, post: 676507, member: 17782"] Thank you all. Many of you are the same people that were here when I first joined in 2014. I don't know if that is comforting or discerning. I do know your words are almost the only thing that gets me through these moments. Yes they are both out of the house. The older son is not talking to me because I won't give in to his and his brother's demands to let him stay at the house. Not even for a cold and rainy night. But I can't help but think that is the top of the slippery slope. My husband is my strength when I am weak. We are in California, as my username says. It is uncommonly cold and rainy right now. This morning my middle son texted and asked again why he couldn't stay in the dog house. I again said no and that it would not change. He said he will continue to ask. Then asked if he could come by for a shower, I had told him yesterday on a weak moment that he could. I told him no, the baby is too sick. He said well then he would just not take his medications so he doesn't sleep. I ignored that and said I was working and couldn't respond. Maybe tomorrow. He then said, well I will be off my medications by then. Sounded like a threat. Just like his old suicide threats when he was in Indiana. We have regressed and it is my fault for getting to close. My hubby said he is just not stable enough for that mother son relationship. He is right. Now I will be strong but I know he will escalate. He does know I will call the cops in a heartbeat. I found a NAMI support group that meets Wednesday. I will try to make it. I am strong but wearing thin. [/QUOTE]
