[QUOTE="VickiL, post: 141540, member: 93"] Thank you all for you good thoughts...it helps more than you'll ever know. You all are really the only ones who understand what I'm going through. I really have no desire to talk to him. I did, however, have a long talk with husband last night. He is way past his limit with Justin as I am. He said that until he gets some mental help for his anger problems, which actually are abuse, he is not allowed to step foot on our property. I hated telling husband because I knew exactly what he was going to say and do to protect us and our property. I honestly don't want to have anything to do with Justin, or Ashley for that matter. They have a toxic relationship, blame all of their problems on me and I'm sick and tired of it. I won't let Kyla want for anything, but I just wish she didn't have to have them for parents. Maybe years down the road things will change, but I highly doubt it. All I can do and am doing is letting go...and to tell you the truth, it feels pretty good. It's going to be an ongoing process, I know, but right now it feels very freeing, like a large weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I have the Serenity prayer taped to my computer at work and repeat it over and over all day. That helps, too. I guess I was just so proud of how Justin was acting in the last couple of months that I forgot what a true jerk he can be to everyone in his life. It's the whole "You owe me" attitude so many of our difficult children have. And I am so over with it. Line in sand was crossed and there will have to be a lot of time and trust to rebuild on his part. Threats aren't his best weapon at the moment. But, knowing I have husband and all of you makes this much easier right now. Now if I could just get this across to my mom and sister, but that's a whole 'nother story...my mom is "fixer" and has passed it along to my sister where Justin is concerned. It's too bad they have to see he really hasn't changed in the last few years, but maybe now that they see him for what he really is, they will let go, too. Again, thank you all so much for the support! [/QUOTE]
