[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 749812, member: 13303"] I echo Elizabrary's sound advice. My stepsons only contact their mother when they need or want something from us, usually something involving money. The legal adult, DS, is in closer communication with us now because he has burned the bridges with his dad and brother down to ashes at this point. Time will tell if we will ultimately be forced to wash our hands of him as well. We cannot control our children once they become too big to put in a time out particularly in today's world where parents have far less influence than they did when I was a child. Honor your pain and do your best to live life. It seems that your job keeps you very busy and I hope it is a positive environment. Life is too short and we all must live it to the fullest as much as possible. Your self-esteem does not depend on anything that anyone else does or says - including your son. [/QUOTE]
