[QUOTE="nlj, post: 631961, member: 17650"] Do you think that sometimes they sabotage good things 'accidentally on purpose'. It's like they can't handle the extra stress of us being proud of them and planning good things for them, so they go over the edge again. I've had this sort of thing with my son. I'm going to see him this Friday, H is taking our youngest to work with him so I can have the day to drive to the forest. My son's been upbeat lately, despite the troubles at the squat, and I've been meaning to visit for a while. I'm hoping for a nice day, taking some food etc, hoping to chill out and just spend some peaceful time together. I hope he doesn't sabotage this by being miserable /angry /despondent /desperate /dramatic. It's a risk though isn't it to be optimistic and plan a good time with them? It's like setting ourselves up for heartache sometimes when our plans go pear-shaped. I hope you have a great trip away anyway and your son gets his act together so that maybe you can do the joint planned trip at some time in the future. [/QUOTE]
