[QUOTE="Beta, post: 755790, member: 22597"] Good morning all--back here after being gone for the weekend. We spent some time with our youngest before he takes off in a week or so for the northwest. Thanks, JMom. I have come to the realization (albeit slowly) that my contact with him does no good whatsoever, for him or for me. (Copa has pointed this out to me several times, but I seem to talk myself out of it and step right back into the same behavior). It just seems to anger him and trigger in him an angry, malicious response and leaves me feeling emotionally battered. So, I'm backing out of the way for the time being. After a week of silence from him and non-responsiveness, he has been texting and even calling, to try to vent his anger on me. I don't respond, and I don't plan to. I think I've finally come to some point of acceptance that this is what is for the time being; there's nothing I can do to change it; and I need to move on with my life and protect myself, but just keep praying for him, which I do--many, many times a day. I think God is trying to teach me many things through this. I'm just thickheaded and slow to learn! [/QUOTE]
