[QUOTE="Acacia, post: 730083, member: 19832"] First, click on link at top of sharings that says something like "New Members - to start a new thread." You'll get more responses. Your story sounds like many of ours: empty promises to change, enabling, heart break, burning bridges. I have a 32 year old son due to get out of jail, who has a child, and who blames everyone else for his circumstances. Doesn't call me Mom anymore because any boundary I set makes me mean. Every time I think from his point of view, I cave. Every time I think of how I deserve to be treated, I get stronger. My advice is to take care of yourself, of your marriage, your physical and emotional health. You're right that he is not a little boy. He is an adult whether he acts like one or not.He must find his own way. Nothing you have done has probably helped him do that, no matter how much you love him. All the empathy you give has not been returned. [/QUOTE]
