[QUOTE="WiscKaren, post: 123024, member: 4507"] Thank you everyone for your replies. Some I laughed at; some I cried. I didn't sleep a wink last night, tossing and turning over this. But nothing I can really do about it. My friend's today told me "He'll outgrow it, just be patient". He's 23, almost 24 -- when, when is that going to happen? I've been hearing that now for almost 5+ years. I know the photos were not the product of Photoshop. GFGson has been into self mutilation for quite some time now; he actually started cutting himself at around age 14-15. He has since outgrown that, I think.....phew! I just wish I knew what happened to my little boy. What happened? What made him start doing drugs? One time when we were in court, the judge even remarked outloud, "You are lucky to be alive with all the drugs you have used. It's actually remarkable that you haven't fried your brain." But I think they have, I really really do. Sad to say, but he actually revolts me. This tongue cutting was the last straw. I can't take it anymore. I have been focusing on him now for over 10 years. He has drained me, both emotionally and physically, and financially. I plan on packing any remnants I have of him away this weekend, including pictures and things he made in grammer school (which I have kept displayed all these years). To me, he no longer exists. I want nothing, absolutely nothing, to do with him. ....and that, my friends, is so very sad. But I have to focus on me, my marriage, my grandchildren. And with him in my life, even though we have been estranged, I haven't had the energy to do that. Is that selfish? Again, thank you. [/QUOTE]
