[QUOTE="FallingIn, post: 760840, member: 26369"] Thank you for all your words of wisdom. It's so very hard to give up on him. Which is what I feel like I am doing. And he feels the same way. He's on another drunken binge and being extremely verbally abusive to me. He said that his Dad left him by dying and now I am leaving him by blocking him and not talking to him. I know deep down if I let him back into my home, my life would become way more stressful than it already is. But I keep going back to the thought that I have to put him before my own needs. Because he is my son. And I know he's hurting way more than I. This is exactly what my son does. He fixates on something irrational and it consumes him until it either resolves itself, or he gets over it somehow. He has done this his whole life - although when young it wasn't about serious issues, but still happened. Right now he's fixated on never getting a girlfriend because he is "so disfigured". He can't see anyway out of it, no matter how much I try to show him small steps he can take. Thanks for listening and giving me support. I wonder if it will ever end. [/QUOTE]
