[QUOTE="4now, post: 632106, member: 17356"] So sorry Lost my son! It sounds like your difficult child has been putting you through the ringer. I have had my difficult child show up here and ring the doorbell at 3 am in the middle of the winter. I refused to even answer the door, even though my heart was breaking. I spent the rest of that night worried that he was going to freeze to death and crying like my heart would break. I have also had him show up here last week and this week begging for a place to stay or a place to rest. Each time I had to refuse him because every time I help him he stops trying to help himself. He is also 33 and long past the age where he should be needing my help. However stressful it is for me to refuse him, I am not really afraid of him or what he might do if he comes here. It is more just the stress and heartbreak of having to turn him away and fear that he may lose hope and feel like no one cares. I have also told him( like you have your son) that I love him but he is a grown adult and I need to live my life without the stress of dealing with his choices and problems. Not the least of which is his mental illness which he refuses to treat or acknowledge. It is so sad that we have to struggle with the calls and verbal abuse that our difficult child's seem to wish to inflict. I pray that you are able to get through your night without your difficult child showing up. I am praying for you and your difficult child. hang in there, and please know that I am with you in spirit.
