[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 661728, member: 17635"] Oh, JKF. I look for your posts because your son sounds so much like mine. I definitely hear you loud and clear. Your letter idea sounds good. You can express your love without offering $$. My son is 34 and I agree with what you did, though i understand how painful this is. I really, really do. And, you know, i would have almost given in, too. Absolutely. It is difficult for husband and me to this day - and we have way more experience with this than many on this forum. STILL, it is so hard. I truly think you did the right thing. It takes some time (hours, days?) for us to remember....How he got where he is, why we feel like we do. The history, where we tried to help and how it did not help. But, at first, our Mommy hearts want to reach out & hug them & "fix" it. And, then we realize we cannot. We truly cannot "fix" anything for our Difficult Child. You are on my mind tonight - you and your son. Hugs. I hope you have a fun day tomorrow. When i first found this forum, folks kept saying [I]Do something fun- for you.[/I] and, that was so difficult to grasp. But, you know, you must. You really must do that. Hugs, SS [/QUOTE]
