[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 160109, member: 3907"] Stands, Mom-to-3 offers a great perspective on things. You really should be angry with your son rather than anxious for him at this point. I know that anger can be a very unsettling feeling -- but you have every right to feel it and it will give you the energy and strength to do what you need to do. I think you should follow Witz's and Janet's advice. DON'T GO to the court hearing WRITE the letter, stating that you will not let your son live with you And Barbara's advice is spot-on. What is your plan. Do you have a backup plan for if your difficult child shows up at your door? What about if he phones? You need to think about what to do now while you're calm and quiet. If necessary, make posters that remind you what to do and what to say. It's no different than a fire drill. Rehearse it now, so that if and when the time comes, you will have a built-in automatic response that lets you do what's right for you. Otherwise, it's way too easy to fall back into old familiar UNHEALTHY patterns when something does happen. This is YOUR time Stands, to take care of YOU. Trinity [/QUOTE]
