[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 653414, member: 17542"] I so understand the slippery slope you describe lil. If you want to try it...having him over to watch game of thrones, you could say this: Yes we would like you to come over and watch with us. Let's try it once and see how it goes. We will be picking you up and dropping you off once the show is over. no deviations...you can't spend the night so let's don't even go there. Looking forward to it. Then lil if it goes off course...you will know you tried. If the idea feels to stressful don't do it. This needs to be more about you...and less about him. It is very hard to drop someone off at 10 pm at night at a McDonald's or at a closed dark building. I have done it three or four times and it cost me nearly everything. I knew I had to do it once I was on the course but it nearly killed me. The alternative is just to realize that right now he can't come over at night because the ending of the evening is too hard on you. Perhaps you could record it and have him over much earlier the next night. That way, when he leaves it is still light outside. Somehow that is easier. Hang in there. This is tough stuff. [/QUOTE]
