[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 526483, member: 13542"] WTW, I agree with what Susie and Bunny are telling you. I understand and empathize with your feelings, this is your child, you want to have a connection with him, but he is putting himself in a position of someone you cannot trust right now. He is only thinking of himself and his teenage desires for independence, he isn't seeing the big picture and the harm it can do to you or your other child. You have to think for him and make a decision that protects your family now. I know it's hard, I know how difficult it is to have to think that way, but [I]you must.[/I] Later when this blows over and cooler heads prevail, you can resume making attempts to connect with him. At that point he may be more willing to be a part of your family again, but right now, he is asserting himself in a very negative and potentially hurtful way. He's too young to see all the ramifications which he would likely regret later if it did harm his sister and you and husband, but for now, he is an adversary. Take care of yourself. Prayers and warm wishes for you and your family as you wander through this new territory. [/QUOTE]
