I am getting few responses in the relationships forum and really need help. In addition, I called son's cell phone and left message that his dishes were done and not to come home without sisters things from laundry. Also told him I hate what is happening and I was helping him check into alternative living sits. I feel like the worst mom in the world.

You are not the worst mom in the world. Sometimes Tough Love is what it takes. I know that 's what it took for me to heal the relationship with my parents. Now that I don't live at home and don't see them every day we are getting along much much better. Don't beat yourself up for this it sounds that he needs a big boost in the butt to get himself in gear. You are doing what you need for your mental health.

Maybe you can sit down together and decide what is best for everyone. You are not the worst mom in the world but maybe a very frustrated one. I hope you can work this out together.

He is home now but hasn't spoken to me. Spoke on the phone several hours ago. He will probably try to straighten out his act for a few days but it won't last. I am frustrated. I am getting tough. I want to be more tough. He reminds me of my abusive brothers. Oh what a weird place. I feel like he has not a conscience. I knew him as a loving child until he was abused and traumatized. It can't be an excuse for him, it isn't for me. I am confused and I thank you for your caring support. I do appreciate it muchly.

I can only imagine the conflicting emotions you are having. It is so hard when it is your child that you are having to make these decisions about. Sometimes it does come down to taking the tough road. I am sure you will make the right decision for all of you. I am just sorry it has come to this point. Please take care of you.
