[QUOTE="bluebell, post: 738743, member: 16761"] With my son being out of the house with very little contact for almost a month now, I have reflected a lot, grieved some, and developed a sort of timeline in my head of this whole fiasco. There is very little correlation between actions/words. There has been some maturity and I really did think he was on the right path, going to school, keeping a job for a whole year, but it all fell apart. Yet, if his brand of maturity means that there is just a bigger gap between complete meltdowns and he internalizes this as I think he might be 'That I did all of that for the past year for nothing' then there is still very little growth. I guess I'm just trying to say, as mcdona did, that neither actions or words will satisfy me anymore. There would have to be some sort of miraculous sea change, which is just never going to happen. Cue the grief. I had a dream about my son last night, and he just walked in the house and although he looked the same physically, there was a light in his eyes. He was happy and asking about us, the pets, his sister. He was happy and confident, no chip on his shoulder. I think this person might have had problems like everyone else, but he was glad to see his family. What a strange dream. [/QUOTE]
