[QUOTE="Beta, post: 756420, member: 22597"] Oh MissLulu, I am so, so sorry. I feel the hurt and disappointment you must be feeling right now. As I said the other day, you and your husband are so gracious and kind to have done this for him, and this behavior of his is inexcusable and rotten. Why do these kids behave this way? It's baffling, isn't it? Normal people do not behave this way; normal people love, respect, and appreciate their parents, and they appreciate it when other people are good to them. I think there's something missing from these kids of ours, or, something WENT MISSING in these kids. I know with our son, Josh, he was a sweet, kind, happy little boy, but something changed somewhere. I bet your son was once that way too, and it hurts to see what they have become. I'm glad to hear you say that you are at a point where you can let go. I know that's a hard point to come to. You have every right to be angry and disappointed; any reasonable person would be. I think you are doing the right thing for yourselves when you ask for your keys back and insist he not come to your home uninvited. It's time to protect yourselves. As parents, we are used to giving and nurturing and that's what we want to do, but I've come to realize that some people just can't be fixed with our love and sacrifice. Only God can fix them, and even then, they have to want to be fixed. You have done NOTHING to deserve this. Not to be preachy, but God tells us "to honor our father and mother." He didn't say, "Honor your father and mother if they are good parents." Regardless of whether we were the worst parents on the face of the earth, kids are to obey that command. Your son (and mine) has not done this. The sad thing is, God takes that command very seriously, and they will reap the consequences of that choice. Stay strong and may you have God's comfort in your heart right now. [/QUOTE]
