[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 470241"] I dont know.....I agree the problem is not that Kathy doesn't love her, we all know that she does. And I agree the problem is that her difficult child doesn't love herself... I think htough when someone feels so badly about themselves, they feel worthless and not worth loving.... and so even though it is not reality she might feel her mom doesn't love her because she isn't worth loving. And not letting her come home can feel like such a rejection.... so I think at a time like this it can be helpful to let the difficult child know that yes we do love them and we do support them in recovery even as we set clear limits and wont let them come home. At least that is how I see it... and I am in a fairly similar situatoin..... and went through the not letting him come home and let him be homeless...I think by continuing to let our difficult child know that we loved him, when he finally did hit real bottom he reached out to us for help.
