Thanks,  its so hard though, we want him to be a part of our family and all that we enjoy.  But like my middle daughter says,  its his decision, he has made these choices not us,... yup.. even this one.. he chose. 

But it is nice to know that I am not alone.. for a long time I thought I was, and the shame of carrying that and trying to figure out what I did wrong was a terrible burden.   I did what I did, and I thought I did the best I knew.    He wasnt abused although there were many times, I did want to... lol..  I am of the mind set that he may have a mental illness too.. which has given me the ability to give him and myself some grace and forgiveness in all of this.
