[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 555496"] Let him try for emancipation....sounds to me like he is using that to try and yank your chain and bargain with you about what he wants when he comes home. Does he really think he can tell you to get rid of your husband? Yikes!! And yes people are nuts and enable our difficult children like crazy... nothing you can do about that but let them go ahead and stand firm that you wont. My son lived for a crazy trashy family as well.... and near the end when they were getting sick of him the mother called me a few times I think hoping I would somehow give them some money... she didnt know what she was going to do with him!!! I basically told her I couldnt help.. he was over 18 at that point though. As to the nasty things on FB... my difficult child did that to me too at one point. The couple of family members who saw it sort of clucked at me sympathetically and I ignored it. Didnt respond at all. It was embarrassing but at some point i think you just get beyond embarrassment... it is just showing others the kind of things you are dealing with. That was a couple of years ago. My son is now who knows where doing who knows what, but he recently posted a I love you mom picture on my FB wall... and several people got to comment on how nice it was. :) TL [/QUOTE]
