[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 742788, member: 18958"] These are all of them external reasons: What I mean by that, it is whether somebody else sees, or knows; or if son acted differently. But what about you? And your husband? There you are with SON IN THE LIVING ROOM. OK. Maybe bailing him out of a bad situation in Chicago was not the best idea. Because what do you do with him now? You are facing the reality that this had to be by definition a pit stop...he has to move on to the next step because you are not equipped to handle this long-term. There is not the space. You are not comfortable. It is a burden that you cannot take on. There is no BAD in telling the truth to yourself, and dealing with it. You cannot give more right now, beyond parental love and support. But that has to be away from the apartment. I am hearing you say that, whether or not you are saying it or not. In the long term it is better for him and for your relationship that you are able to tell the truth and act on it. But first we need to tell ourselves the truth. [/QUOTE]
