[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 660026, member: 15801"] Hang in there....my story is very similar. My son was in residential treatment as a teen, came home did well for a while...we had to kick him out at 18 . He told us he hated us etc etc etc. now he is 23 ....and finding his way. He is living in another state but we are going to visit and he wants us to come! I don't think he blames us any more and can tell us he loves us! So your journey is not over and neither is his. So yes hang up on him when he gets abusive, no reason for you to take that treatment. However continue to let him know you love him. Best advice I ever got from a therapist when we kicked my son out at 18 .....at that point a part of me just wanted to walk away and write him off. She told me to stay in touch, to text him every few days. Tell him I love him but don't invite him home. So I did that and he didn't respond at first but when he got arrested he called us....and so over the years we kept our relationship going....but did not take abuse from him. [/QUOTE]
