[QUOTE="joysheph, post: 709441, member: 21496"] After kicking out my son who is 28 over 2 months ago has been a heartbreaking task I've ever had to do. During those times he would call and I couldn't answer so he would leave voice mail saying how he's in mental facility getting his medications stable. He has diagnosis of bipolar with depression. I couldn't be more happier but then I couldn't help but wonder if the only reason he checked himself in is to not be homeless? So I never answered his calls. Shortly after his released, I seen his name at the facility is work at. I chose to not answer again. Then on today he was released I answered. I did what his social worker suggested. I got him a phone and bike and hygiene things and I dropped him off at a shelter. I really wanted to wrap my arms around him and mother him and tuck him in bed and be safe. I did not I can't repeating over and over in my head I have boundaries and he must fix himself. He supposed to go on Monday to a drug treatment facility I shall pray he does. This is very hard on me and at times I feel selfish but then I stop and think why? He must walk in his own shoes and I must stick to my boundaries! [/QUOTE]
