Re:son asks to move back in ..... - 2007/07/19 09:26
You are not a heartless mother. Simply the way you phrase your son’s predicament shows it. From the bottom of your heart, you want to help your son. Which means letting him learn the lessons he must learn also. As a responsible parent, it follows that you can’t simply heed to your son’s every beck and call. He wanted to become more independent and so he chose that route by moving out. But he couldn’t handle the responsibility that comes with this type of independence. From your description of the scenario, it looks like your son really needs to learn a lesson in responsibility. It’s natural to feel the fear you may have about your son’s outbursts but in order for him to really learn about sticking to his promises and living responsibly you’ve got to fight the fear and stand your ground. If he does move back in, house rules are house rules. Exceptions may just lead to further abuse. You are helping him by standing your ground.
