[QUOTE="cakewalk, post: 297747, member: 7060"] Thank you, Nomad, for the response. Sometimes I think only the people on this board understand. My sister ended up calling me back and it was terrible. She said my son wanted to come home, and as his mother, I should have picked him up in five minutes no questions asked. She referred to the prodigal son in the Bible where the father welcomed the son with open arms. She then said that she knows without a shadow of a doubt that I am not a Christian and no one will ever convince her otherwise. She said I punched him in the gut on Sunday night (figuratively) and he will never, ever get over this. She said that I am so vindictive and nasty that I waited for this opportunity for him to want to come home to tell him no out of pure hate and spite for him leaving in February. She gritted her teeth and said, "He can't stand your husband!" This is the stuff my son has heard from her for four days. This is what I escaped when I walked from my family. Yes, they convince you the sky is yellow if they want you to. That's why I care what she says because it took me forty years to understand it. In the meantime, I spoke with my son again. My sister has convinced him that what we did was wrong and he told me he is never coming home, he's not begging for anything, and that he's done. My husband called him and left a message for my son to call him back. My son emailed me and told me to tell my husband he has nothing to say to him. So, there you go. There will be no gatherings or common ground or working toward anything. My sister will continue to take care of him, spinning this that we set him up Sunday night, and there will be no looking back. The counselor did not call me back. difficult child's next appointment is Monday and I will be picking him up and taking him. [/QUOTE]
