[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 752569, member: 18958"] Beta. I am glad that he has a room. And that he left your sister's apparently without event. That's very, very good. What makes you think that you will likely never see him again, if not for this visit? I understand that this would be a fear, but reality, why? He is mentally ill. He is very immature. He is confused and in pain. None of these things needs to be a permanent thing. Have you considered backing off and letting him work things through? I was estranged from my mother for many, many years. I did not see her or speak to her. And then one day, things changed. For the last 20 years of my mother's life we made a relationship work, and she lived with me, or near me as she died. Josh can profess his hatred. He can call you vile names. He can refuse to see you. Forever. There are reasons for this that have nothing to do with your real life history or relationship. The way I see it, you do not have to buy into his distorted reality. You could choose to let him be. And let time do it's work. Time and prayer. Many people get on medication at some point and live normal lives. [/QUOTE]
