[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 757307, member: 15032"] I'm so sorry that you are feeling this way. Your son is trying to manipulate you. He has been doing this since you first came here. All our kids do that so I'm not calling him out at all. I remember when our son did that and I think I found out that he was doing it here to be honest. I was so blinded by my love for him and my pain that I didn't see it. I really didn't want to believe it. He wasn't that way...until he was. I know you are in a very difficult situation but I also think you know if he comes back to live with you that he will ruin your family life. You cannot throw everyone under the bus for one. I feel that about my own family. I DID throw them all under the bus. It didn't end well and I don't know if our son will ever repair his relationship with his older brothers because of it. I do hope you don't write the end of the story here. Your son is still young and if you don't stand firm now, things will get much worse for him. They need to learn that they need to follow the rules to live in our society. Period. It's not everyone else's fault. They must learn this. You have been trying to teach him this by letting him feel the consequences of his actions. As parents, that is our job. I know in the end you will do what you can bear, but I just am trying to help you with the guilt. I can tell you are a wonderful and loving mother even though you may not feel like that now. Sometimes as parents we have to make very hard decisions. We have to make decisions that a normal parent should not have to make, yet here we are. Give yourself some grace and continue to pray for your son and for your peace. [/QUOTE]
