[QUOTE="Tiredof33, post: 504007, member: 13558"] It took me years to realize that difficult child was manipulative, I admire you for putting the emotions aside and seeing the true picture. They know exactly which buttons to push!! "I realize you are not dealing with a sub abusing son but you are dealing with an emotional manipulator sounds like to me. It is so hard to let them sink or swim...the "what ifs" just about kill me to think of!" I agree and with my difficult child 33 and cutting himself everytime he fights with girlie 37, threatening suicide. One of these days he may accidently do it! My difficult child just recent had this big scam going telling me he is homeless and trying to finish college to get money from me. He is not homeless. I know from the messgages and emails from the girlie telling me we can afford to send a monthly check, that he does blame me for his life choices. She sends me emails pretending to be him saying I never loved him and everything is my fault. The last calls we the breaking point, I called the police and they asked him are you suicidal, homeless, do you have food? The answers the poilce gave me were no, no, yes. And girlie can not contact me any more. My son is very immature and so is girlie, they think at their age they can go to college full time and the parents will support them! He quit his job to go to college. I worked my way through college and raised 2 children. It still bothers me or I would not be on this forum, but, I am getting stronger by detaching from his self induced problems. I admire so many of the members here for what they have been through and what they are still doing to help their families. Girlie's family thinks I am cold hearted too!! I am lucky that their are no children involved and my husband of 11 years is not emotionally involved - he helps me see the truth - as well as the members here! [/QUOTE]
