[QUOTE="allydem, post: 470916, member: 12714"] Hi Dollphyn and welcome. Like you and many others here, we are in search of comfort/ answers in our time of need. I too threw out my son about 6 weeks ago, and altough life is more more peaceful around the house for myself and my 18yr old daughter, there's this undercurrent of turbulence that is always present. Holidays and family functions come and go, and that's the only time I see my son. He never calls/ or texts unless I initiate it. Whenever we do see each other, it's awkward, and I'm just worried that one day, it'll be so awkward for him to speak to us that all communication will cease. Worse yet is that his grandfather is getting up in age and if something happens to him, he will live to regret it. I certainly will not be the one to pick up the phone to call him and notify him of anything bad that happens. Our last "argument" was over text, in which I let him have it for not keeping in touch with anyone in the family. His response was "I'll start texting now." As if I hadn't heard that before. My response was "well I'm sure you don't forget to text/call your friends. No response back. In hindsight, I probably shouldn't have contacted him at all, but I do feel he is slipping away; my only consolation is the healthy relationship I have with my daughter. She is the light at the end of my tunnel. My son drinks too, but to complicate the situation more, is the fact that he's on wellbutrin and vyvvanse for his adhd.
