[QUOTE="Acacia, post: 715781, member: 19832"] Jody, I agree with your decision to take care of yourself. I made the hard choice of telling my son he had to leave when he turned of age to save my marriage and myself. It had been three years of disrespect, ignoring reasonable boundaries, and getting in trouble with the law. It broke my heart, but I held my ground. He has never lived here since, and he is 31 and has been in and out of jail because of his oppositional behavior and substance abuse. He blames me, and that hurts, but I know I did my best to be a good parent. However hard this, it is as important that you love and care for yourself as much as you do your difficult child. Refusing to be treated badly is modeling important behavior. [/QUOTE]
