[QUOTE="Annika, post: 552406, member: 15245"] Sure, as mothers we tend to blame ourselves for a lot--and that guilt is usually more guilt than you're personally responsible for.... I do try to stay busy, I am just lonely...I'm in a rural area, and it's hard to meet new people and make friends. I've got no outlet for my feelings, this has become for me at least a small haven in the middle of cyberspace where I can vent, discuss and get insight. I think I'm where you are too, where I had to just step back--the hardest thing I've ever had to do. We have tried to help... and we'd be willing to even help more, if he were willing to help himself. Once in a while, I watch the Dr. Phil show... and the one thing he says that always sticks with me is, "How's that working for you?" because people do what works. My son has been manipulating people for a long time now, ahnd continues to do so, because on some scale, it works for him.... it's coming to an end, though, as one by one, the important people in his life are saying, "Enough!"
