I had another thread going about my issues with my 20 yr old son. I thought I had him out but he is back. Why is ist that I feel so guilty kicking him out. He has mad my life h*** for almost 5 years. I can't stand how he treats his girlfriend and how he lies to her. I got so upset tonight that I felt sick to my stomach. It makes my chest tight. My daughter is usually pretty good but when he is around, she tries to act like him. I really know I need to get strong and get him out but I don't want him to hate me forever. It's harder than divorce.

Tough Love is called that for a reason and as a mom of two boys (25 & 20) I wanted to let you know that I understand.

This is really killing me and these kids are all I have and I have given my life to them. I have no one but them. Is it really selfish for me to want the best for them? Do other parents get physically and emotional ill over this? I need a break from the stress big time.

Do they still communicate with you? I have been doing tough love for so long and I think it's tougher on me.

Yes... they still communicate with me and the oldest son that lives outside the home still visits me once a week.
I would say that I love and parent with tough love as needed, but not every day.

Thanks so much for the support. I helps to just vent sometimes.
