We now have son #2 back home after nearly two years away from us. He’s been through a few very nasty ordeals including his apartment being broken into and his valuables stolen, to being physically abused by a psychotic girlfriend. He’s adjusting very well, but still has issues he’s sorting through.
Now he has to find another job, and make new friends. He’s left so many good friends behind with this move, but I really believe he’ll be much happier now that he’s finally got away from the fruitbat that was causing him such mental anguish. He says he feels like a failure…. having to come "home" and stay with his parents. I had to remind him he needs this healing time to get his head on straight again.

I don’t know if he’s told his sister how grateful he is to her for the "push" he needed to make the decision not to go back to that god-awful relationship, but I’m sure he will.

 I thank her from the bottom of my heart.

I am so very proud of your son. Failure is giving up. He did not give up. He stood up for himself. That is growing up not failing. He made an adult decision. Push or no push, he is the only one who could better himself or his position. Way to go, Bro!
By the way, WELCOME!!!!!!
XOXO

Hey, just because kids are “grown” doesn’t mean they don’t still need family sometimes, especially Mom and Dad.
Tell your boy that my brother has just recently moved back with my folks as well, and he’s 47.

Poop happened and he needed support and caretaking for awhile to get physically and emotionally better. Well enough to once again take care of himself.
