[QUOTE="Doddlin, post: 363709"] Thanks everyone for your kind words! I keep trying to reply and hitting something that clears my screen. Sounds like you've all been there done that. difficult child called last night and we just talked about nothing. I was calm, kind and just said I love you. Nice for a change. I'm learning to let go and let God. No more lectures and trying to tell him how to fix everything. I think this is really good for him. He isn't used to me having nothing to say but "I love you and I miss you." The boys appear to be turning out just like their Dad. No surprise. I don't know why I ever thought I could prevent it. I've since learned the same sex parent is a powerful role model at this age. My worst nightmare is that they would turn out like this man. He is a wife beating, broke, emotionally disturbed and very manipulating man. He uses women and has had a revolving door (100's) ever since our divorce. Ick. I am still questioning why I didn't just take him up on the threat long ago.... "If you come after me for support I'll leave state." Dang it. I cannot believe I was ever in a place to have allowed someone like that into my life let alone have children with him. Biggest regret. FA has been great. Went to another group meeting last night. It's helping me SOOOO much. [/QUOTE]
