I told my son to leave again. After 24 hours. What am I doing wrong?

[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 660700, member: 18958"] My SO, M, says this. We need to dedicate the rest of ours lives if we have to to shaping SON into a man of morals and responsibility. When he saw the look of horror on my face, he added, how would it feel for you to die now, with SON like he is? Drifting and poorly able to negotiate his way? He can be taught. He is learning. Would you not die happy, knowing that he was responsible and secure? It is clear that M, my SO, has not gotten the detachment parenting memo. Thoughts? My son seems to recognize that he made a mess of things. M is more sanguine than am I about his two-faced behavior. He thinks 98 per cent of people try to trick others, only his Mother and I, do not. While it is true I do not trust anybody but him I had no idea it was because others were not trustworthy. I thought it was because I am damaged and therefore do not trust. I trust you. Do you think there is a correlation between trustworthiness in parents, and having Difficult Children? Do our children become confused by the discrepancy between the world as it is, and their honest and responsible parents? Do they learn from their experiences outside the family that their parents are easy marks? This is too horrible to believe. M closed with his favorite line: Love the Cow, Love the Veal. In Spanish. This is his way to tell me we are in this together. [/QUOTE]
