[QUOTE="healinginside, post: 763355, member: 29962"] Thank you for your response. I am so mad, sick and upset. I'm literally sick to my stomach. I've been doing so good on myself lately. Just to clarify - the worry for my son never completely leaves. It simmers in an undercurrent that bubbles up several times a day. My husband and I hash out the issue at least once a day but we try not to think obsess over it as we will end up in the hospital ourselves. We both have physical ailments related to this overwhelming stress. I wish I could bring my son back into our home. The last time he was here it got physical a couple of times. I cannot risk that again. I have a daughter to think about. I'm furious about this email bc I took full custody of my son as he grew up due to his dad's alcoholism and irresponsibility. They flitted in and out a few times a year. While my son was in high school, he was team captain and all conference in sports, went to private school, did very well, started an aerospace club, was well spoken - of course then they wanted to be associated with his successes. Now oh he needs to go. They have not seen him once in the 12 weeks he has been in Florida. I understand that (I think??) but they've done nothing to help except email me to tell me to bring him back to my state. This woman is the queen of enablers. She still pays rent for my ex and he is 54. I'm really annoyed as last night was a huge formal fundraising performance for my daughter's school. My ex knew about it and my son knew about it. I said we have this important event so don't text me or call me as my phone will be on silent. It is hard enough to face the 100 other moms with a smile on my face knowing my son is either mentally ill, has a drug issue or could be homeless tonight . I have to use all of my energy to be ME. Then if course the battle ax drops me this email right before the event. My husband said it is clear she just wants to get rid of our son - she doesn't truly care about his well being. But I wanted to put it on this board to get feedback. Maybe my judgment is clouded, maybe I'm wrong. If I am, I will humbly listen. This is the worst situation I have ever experienced-even my mother's passing, divorce, my own cancer diagnosis. Thank you for letting me vent. I need to find a mountaintop to scream from right now. I apologize for dumping this here as it feels so unattractive but I need guidance from experienced moms. Should I press the rehab issue, is he doing hard drugs, will rehab work, am I setting myself up for more failure??? [/QUOTE]
