[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 80566, member: 1233"] I can say you have earned a night's sleep in peace. I love the idea of going to his house and being demanding and unreasonable. I am pretty sure it is what my mother has in mind for me (eek!) As the younger sib of a difficult child, and parent of another difficult child, I have heard the "I hate you" "Yoo will have to ID my cold dead body." and many others, so very many other horrible things. All said in order to try to make someone do something. It makes for a much more peaceful life when you stop allowing yourself to be treated that way. It may mean he has to move out, live with friends, or find his own way. But at 22 he is old enough to go his own way. He is also old enough that you do him no favors by giving in to him, by letting him treat you worse than an animal, or by coddling him. You did a good thing! Keep it up! Susie [/QUOTE]
