[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 680242, member: 19522"] Hi So ready, I am so sorry for your troubles. From your other thread, it has been a long haul for you. This is a juncture I have come to many times with my two. It is not an easy place to be, I hope you are holding up okay, and taking care of your needs. Be very kind to yourself, and start building up your armory. Posting really helps, to get feedback from folks who have been on a similar journey. It will help if you add information on your signature, then people can use that for a quick reference when responding. On your first post there's info about your son that would help others understand your situation. That is up to you though what you put in there. SRTL, this is hard. When my daughters got verbally abusive in my face, I went through so many different emotions. I am sorry this happened to you. For me, it sent me on this life's review, from their childhood on. I think I got stuck at some rough spots, went through a guilty phase for a bit, then realized I was only human and did the best I could do as a parent. You did the right thing in having him leave. It is not possible to have an adult child live in our homes and not follow rules, that is unacceptable. Whether or not there is substance abuse or mental health issues is not the question, our homes are our sanctuaries and rule breaking is non negotiable. You and your husband took a stand and said no more. I am sorry about the dog, I have been in that position before, too. It is not the dogs fault, but it is also not your responsibility. Sorry, I am an animal lover too, it is hard to have your kids choices forced upon you, especially if we have our own animals to care for. My daughter has brought flea and tick ridden, sick dogs. It is tough....... You did the right thing. Keep posting and let us know how you are doing. This can be a tough time when the reality of it all sinks in. Take good care of yourself, and know that you are not alone. (((Hugs))) Leafy [/QUOTE]
