[QUOTE="JKF, post: 638291, member: 12470"] Thanks so much everyone. I know I've come a long way with detaching and setting boundaries and the ability to say a firm no but it just pain sucks. It's exhausting. And as much as I try to move on he's always right there in the back of my mind. Especially now when it's supposed to get down into the 30's and he's sleeping in a park with two other "friends". It's supposed to be a long winter and I'm scared for him but it is what it is. He refuses to go to a shelter and I 100% refuse to budge on my boundaries. I also have to say it's so crazy how he skews reality to fit his situation. I had a big reminder of that today. He text me before from his aunt's house. His bio dad's sister who he hasn't seen in years allowed him to come there to shower today. He said she doesn't understand how a mother could allow her child to be homeless for 3 years. First of all, I didn't allow it. He chose it. Second it's been two years since he's technically been homeless but due to MY hard work of getting him into shelters and sending him to relatives, etc he's only been on the streets since June. Again, his choice. He burned all of his bridges knowingly and willingly and got kicked out of everyplace he's gone. It's so frustrating bc even though I could care less what the aunt thinks of me it bothers me that difficult child is perfectly fine with lying about how horrible I am. Anyway, I'm going to put it out of my mind tonight. I have my favorite candle burning and we're getting ready to have pizza. And as a birthday present to myself I took off from work tomorrow. I'm excited about the costume party and celebrating with my friends and I'm not going to allow difficult child to ruin that for me. Sent using ConductDisorders mobile app [/QUOTE]
