[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 693788, member: 17720"] Hi Sea66, and welcome. Sorry you had to find us. Glad you did. My son is homeless now too, for many of the same reasons your son had to leave your home. Some days I find myself swinging wildly from anger to grief to hopelessness to regret to everything in between, sometimes minute to minute. Me too, Sea. I would imagine most of us do. We are their parents. We are programmed, even at the cellular level, I think, to do our best to give them what they need to live happy and useful lives. And when they reject that, well...that leaves us with a lot of tangled emotions. Sea, I don't know you at all and can still tell you that it sounds like you have indeed done more than enough, that you have nothing to doubt, nothing to regret. For whatever reasons, reasons that are on HIM, not on YOU, he has rejected your efforts. He has refused to accept responsibility for his life, and it sounds like he tries to play your love for him against you so that he can continue to skate along. Good on you, Sea66, for not allowing him to do that. It is not good for him and it is not good for you. I hope you or the moderators will start a new thread for your post, Sea. Many others will be by to comment, but they might not find your post buried at the end of an old thread. [/QUOTE]
