Thanks Deb, I really appreciate your response.
He’s saying all the right things at the moment but I’ve heard these things before so I’m cautiously waiting to see if he acts on anything.
I’ve reached the putting in boundaries stage but it’s taken me a long time and I’ve definitely enabled his behaviour for far too long.
He’s now back but I’m so scared of what’s to come and exhausted with all the effort put in to get him out that his dad has now made it all worse. I feel I’m having to deal with it all on my own, again who’s his dad gets really angry and says just stop. If only it was that easy.
I’ll look at the thread you suggested, thank you.
🙂
