[QUOTE="LMW73, post: 635385, member: 18347"] Hi, thanks to all who have replied to my post. Your support means so much and has given me the strength to deal with my son over the last few days. He keeps trying to get in touch, but I am too scared to talk to him. The supported housing unit he lives gave him notice and he leaves tomorrow. They offered to help him with finding alternate housing but has refused. I know if I start having conversations with him now, he will start to depend on me and therefore not take responsibility for himself. Its not that I don't want to talk to him but he doesn't seem to understand that he cannot come back and live in my house. The next couple of days are going to be the hardest because its a complete unknown to me. The thought of him being alone terrifies me, but I do believe that this is the only thing that might change his attitude. I am slowly coming to terms with this and the grief has at times been over-whelming. The thing I am learning to do is to stop blaming myself as I think I have taught him to do the same. He has so much anger and rage at the world, but I will not give up hope that my bright beautiful boy is still in there somewhere. Again, thank you all so much. Having found this site has really felt like a gift from whoever is watching over me. [/QUOTE]
