[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 412125, member: 84"] Often I find it helps to think of them as reliving the terrible twos in an adult body. The hate you part is supposed to bring you to your knees with guilt and despair and make you cave. A tantrum pure and simple. And if you can think of it as such......that sort of behavior doesn't get taken to heart and you don't hurt so much. You're 2nd guessing and hurting because you're a mom and you love him and genuinely want to help him. His behavior has consequences. The sooner he learns this lesson the better off he'll be. He made the choices to behave the way he did which forced you to tell him he could no longer live with you. Now it's up to him to make his own way in the world. All through his childhood you've given him the tools.......it's up to him to use them or not. When you 2nd guess, ask yourself what would you do if you invited a stranger to stay with you to help them (or a friend) and they did the same things? It helps to put things into perspective. Welcome to the board. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
