[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 724987, member: 1550"] You don't have any relationship with him anyway or he would never have violated you. Just talking to him or listening to him abuse you is no sort of relationship. A relationship requires respect and trust. It doesn't serve our wrong way adult children well when we refuse to set reasonable expectations and consequences from them because we are afraid of them leaving is. Truth is, if not for our money and often housing, many would have left long ago. They come back, or not, if they grow mature enough to see their wrongs and see us through kind eyes. A real relationship with a grown child is not like dealing with a surly six year old. [/QUOTE]
