[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 732324, member: 13303"] As you may know from my post history, we have been dealing with estrangement from both of my stepsons, off and on, for the past several years. At this point neither son wants anything to do with us. It's one of the worst, cruelest ploys a child can play on a parent. I am very sorry you are going through this. At the same time in our case stepsons are somewhat justified in that their relationship with my W is difficult and strained, and has been for years, and isn't entirely their fault. I suspect they do not know how to cope with the situation other than withdrawing from it completely. In your case it sounds like your son has found an enabler of sorts in his father. He is immature and his mind still clouded by drugs. Not denying that he may also be selfish, as you say; my stepsons are not high character people so I understand. But it seems your situation offers more hope for a reconciliation down the line, as it appears your son is simply chafing against your rules at the present time and deep down, does love you. I don't believe my stepsons love either my wife, or me. Best of luck and sorry to hear of the pain your son caused this weekend. [/QUOTE]
