[QUOTE="PennyFromTheBlock, post: 633395, member: 18271"] and....how do we, as parents, turn away from our own child? I guess that is what has kept me in this for so long. How do I let him be homeless? Hungry? I can't fix him. I know logically he has to want to do better in order to actually do better. I can't do this for him. Parents, instinctively, protect and look after their children. I do sometimes feel like I'm in a domestic violence situation. I really do- even though he has never hit me or even threatened to. I guess I'm afraid of him, is what I'm trying to say. I've never been willing to admit that before. [/QUOTE]
