Quick Update. After kicking my son out of the house, he got into trouble with his PO and is in jail, he has some other charges that he will have to face as we had to call the police on him for stealing.
I just mailed a letter explaining I will no longer be in his life if he is going to continue to act like he has been. That once he truely decides he wants to be part of the family that I will be here for him (he is 22 yrs old) I tried telling him lovingly but now I am feeling so guilty.
(((debbiems))) I don't have children so I can only imagine how hard this is for you. But it is so important to set boundaries for our own sakes. Your son is an adult, he makes his own choices. Please don't feel guilty or be hard on yourself. He will do what he will do, you are taking care of you.
Don't be so hard on yourself. You made a difficult choice, but you made the right choice. If you were to continue to enable him, you would willingly become part of the problem as well as continue to cause yourself pain and suffering. Stay strong and turn it over to your higher power.
