[QUOTE="wakeupcall, post: 634067, member: 2287"] You probably remember me...I was here for almost ten years and finally felt like I was sucking everyone's energy and I had nothing to offer....always the same user name. He continues to break my heart and I SO wish I could let it be. I'm MUCH better than I was, though. I feel like a failure that all we did didn't seem to help and of course, his father is angry at me and it's the quickest way to hurt me .. blame me for the most recent actions of his. I was always the disciplinarian and gave him consequences, now he has none. He lives with his father because he tended to be physical with me and the therapists (3) said he needed to live with his father. This stuff with the law amazes me. It horrifies me that he's been handcuffed. It horrifies me that he does pot. It horrifies me that he isn't remorseful. Just an hour ago he came to my house wanting me to buy him $500 speakers for his truck. I had told him I'd buy speakers for it if he would just graduate. He did, then wrecked his truck that he'd had for two weeks. I backed off and said if you don't have more respect for your new truck why would I put more money into it. I'm insisting he save his money (he's had a job for one week) and get body repair done, then I WILL buy the speakers. He just needs to show a little responsibility. We adopted him at birth and his bio father is in the federal penitentiary. I can't help but remember the quote, "nature vs nurture". Nature is winning out. [/QUOTE]
