[QUOTE="JayPee, post: 760134, member: 23405"] Waiting, I've ready the Melody Beattie books and they are terrific. Your dollar will be well spent. I'm sorry that you and your son are estranged. I've gone through cycles of that myself. In August of 2018 while I was on a mini 3 days vacation my older son and I had a disagreement about money. Specifically, I had given him enough and had enough of his verbal abuse and false accusations about things that we did to him or neglected to do for him as parents. I had to block him for quite a while and I didn't end up in communication with him until some money of his got direct deposited into my account (because we had set it up as such, since he had and still has no banking account). Nothing was perfect, for sure when we reunited but honestly I needed those 8 months apart from him. Sure my heart was heavy at times but the longer he was away the stronger I felt. I knew if he hadn't gotten in touch with me (because they know how to when they need to) that he was somehow getting along. During that time apart he had actually gotten a very good job and had been working for about 6 months. He had done some growing during that time. Things have reverted a bit now, but I can only hope that during this separation period that your son is getting better. Even if in some small subtle ways. That's how it usually happens. We can only keeping hope alive for them and for our healing. Sending hugs.. [/QUOTE]
