[QUOTE="bluebell, post: 742372, member: 16761"] Copa, I agree with everything you said! I think maybe I have just been thru this so many times and plus knowing there is a mother who will be burying her son tomorrow really puts things into perspective. Of course, him not being in my physical presence is a complete boon for all of us. I believe absence does make the heart grow fonder in some cases. His sister found a picture on social media of my son and his friend who died. I forwarded it to him and he was wondering where I got it. I thought the accusations were going to start on getting in his business, etc. But he texted back 'Thanks, that means a lot' with a heart. So Copa, yes, I think if I act from love without giving up my rights, that eventually he may pick up on this and react accordingly. I don't seem to be fighting the path that he is on. He has wandered so far off the path I would have chosen for him, I have no idea how to give him directions from where he is now. And that's ok. I've just spent so much time trying to get him back on my path (which I still think is the right one) that it's caused me so much psychic pain. But life is short and his actions are starting to affect my path, even though, yes RN he is young. I still have hope that I will know him as a content, confident, stable man. RN, I so pray that you will see that very soon in your son. Thanks so much to everyone. I will try to get on more and post and help others, work has been very bad lately and there are always leaves in the pool in November. Such a glamorous life! [/QUOTE]
