[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 633752, member: 3305"] Thank you Sig, Well all...time for a new revelation. My beautiful, intelligent, highly independent easy child...appears to be a bit difficult child at times too. easy child just got out of County jail yesterday. She is with her on again/off again boyfriend now so I won't see her til later this morning. This is a girl who has EVERYTHING going for her. She has completed 3 yrs into her Bachelor degree and also just completed a yr (on top of college) in massage therapy school to become a licensed massage therapist. She just got a job 2 weeks ago with a local chiropractor. She also just got approved for an apt that she is scheduled to move into in 2 weeks. I don't want to go into the specifics...but needless to say I have been a mess the past couple of days. Outwardly, I am staying steady...but inside I feel shame. 3 for 3 is not a very good parenting record. Meanwhile...since I told young difficult child that we are DONE. His radar is up...he kept asking me where this came from? He even texted me last night and said... " You are wrong about me. And abandoning all emotional relationship with your son is harsh and not good for my mental health. Mom's are important to their son's for their whole life and should always believe in their boys. This is not guilt this is the truth." All I said in response is..."Dad and I have given you everything you need to succeed...the rest is up to you." Of course young difficult child does not know about easy child. I will never tell him. He would use that to justify his own (regular) bad behavior. I feel like a failure. easy child did tell me on the phone when she got out yesterday that she wrote both dad and I letters and "meant every word of it". I may share her letter to me on the board once I receive it. She is a good person. Why oh why did this have to happen? For the most part...she has not given us a lick of trouble. For the most part...she is a responsible person. I am just at a loss at this moment. I did not see this coming. LMS ps...I know you all also "know me" by my first name but I would prefer to only go by lovemysons or LMS in the future. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
