anji i am so sorry to hear of all your problems at home but i think the best thing you can do is let your children make their own mistakes and let them learn by them even though you aint happy your children are and let them no you will always be there for them through the good and the bad times.

Hi all
After endless snipes at each other,my son and myself, we did at least have a civil conversation last night,even with his g/friend txting him at least 5 times in between and ringing, (i dared him to answer)

We are fine now,basically i said, do what you have to do but you cant expect me to agree with your plans, but whatever happens i will always be there for him.

She on the other hand is not talking to me,as she was very abrupt on the phone to me when she rang for steve...

I have said to steve its very hard for me to let go, as he isnt only my son he is my friend and i have to step back a bit, so to speak, its very hard...silly sod that i am

Thanks for all your advise guys

anji

anji, well done for taking such a huge step. i hope your son can see the sense in what you have said and makes the right decision soon,
claire
