[QUOTE="BackintheSaddle, post: 621317, member: 17503"] After I put return letter to father in mailbox, I sent email to difficult child...I got to worrying about the impact on him when my father gets that letter...I poured my heart out in him, telling him how I know tihs puts him in the middle...that his grandfather wants him to choose between us, and I'm hoping with time he'll come to realize and remember what a good mom I was and am to him...I told him that even though I'm 'shutting the door' to my parents, I'll always be here for him when he's ready...that I don't know what to do with regard to him...if he wants me to not contact him (I've been checking in about once a week), I'll do that but that I worry about him in that setting and hope he's handling it ok...it was a letter of me trying to remind him of his Mom, not the person my father has been trying to convince him that I am...I don't know if he'll reply but it made me feel better to give him the 'heads up' that that letter is coming and his grandfather will be upset when he gets it...I apologized for my part of the conflict he's in the middle of and tried to convey love the best way I know how...maybe I shouldn't have sent it but I know in every situation like this, all parties make mistakes to get to this point and I wanted to apologize for my part but explain why I believe it's important for me to separate myself from my parents...this seems like an impossible situation for my difficult child...he can't come home and if he stays with them, he'll only get worse...I hate he's in that position but not willing to let him back in the house either [/QUOTE]
