[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 22194, member: 1514"] Allan...I respectfully disagree that this ruins the relationship. Us allowing them to manipulate and walk on us ruins the relationship. Being their doormat and abuse us ruins the relationship. When they dont respect us, they have no reason to want to have a normal adult parent to child relationship. It is only when we finally stand up and put our foot down and demand the respect and appropriate behavior that we should that we can have hope of a relationship with our adult children. I have dealt with having to impose limits set by various agencies and placements on my son. Im sure he didnt like them but it didnt ruin the relationship we have. [/QUOTE]
