Default help me keep my son from perpetuating the cycle of abuse (very long)

First, I adore you. You are a courageous woman. I've always felt
that way, even if our differences in opinions sometimes got in the
way. Know that. Remember what a strong woman you ARE. Let that wash
over you and bring you even more strength. Really feel it. You ARE
a strong woman!!!

I think you need to have your psychiatrist write you a letter that
you can keep in your purse stating your mental abilities and stating
that this is your son's problem and not yours.

Also, have you thought about emancipating him? That way he is out of
the house and isn't a danger to you and yours.

About his computer...take it away. Even if this means no computer in
the house. It's YOUR property, not his. He didn't pay for it.

You are doing the best you can with what you have. There is NOTHING
to feel guilty about. You are only doing what YOU can do. That is
the only thing we can do.

I don't know how much help any of this is. You have my friendship
sweetheart. And you know my email addy if you want to talk off list.

all my love,

Thank you. I am going to print this out and sleep (yeah, right, sleep.)
with it next to my pillow. I wish words of love did not hurt me but they
do. I read this and sobbed. I am so weird.
