[QUOTE="savior no more, post: 694989, member: 19838"] The words you spoke were matter of fact and did not berate your son as a person or belittle him in any way. You were setting a firm boundary that was reasonable. I think part of the problem is that you are the female saying these things and that you are carrying the part of the heavy in the relationship with M and meting out most of the boundaries. It appears that the judgement of your words has made you shrivel inside. I'm sorry for this. This reminds me of how most people in society treat me for my son's problems. If only I would have been different then my son wouldn't have done ... That's malarky. It's your son's behavior - not your fault. And it just might have been the thing to make him realize he needed help. Also, you could quit your job and watch your son's every move and he may never be different. You have to have your life too. My heartfelt thoughts of loving strength are being sent your way. Either I have a propensity for pickng men who always tell me how I should be different, or these relationships are very hard to manage when a Difficult Child is involved. [/QUOTE]
