Thanks Portia for the encouraging words...I have been really looking at me, my actions and words, with everyone. And while I am not sure what the outcome of this is or if I would want what is presented I want to ensure that I am not the root cause of more hurt, damage, pain, etc...

My guess is that no matter what I did, his choices are his, not mine...but, if there was a chance that he does get through his crises and would want to return home, I want to know that I did the best I could.

Like a teenager, if you don't set boundaries and stick to them, he will walk all over you. Don't worry if he gets mad, how many times did we as teenager scream at our parents for trying to set rules? Yet, at the heart of it we did not stop loving them just because the rules were enforced.
Yes, this makes sense, although even when I have these moments with my children I still feel "something"...I guess the tough love side affect. LOL!
