[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 147392"] Susan - Do you ever get angry? You have put your heart and soul into helping your child and he refuses to take it. He makes empty promises and he manipulates you to get what he wants. I know I'm not there, but after one night he was saying it wasn't going to work. That's not giving it a chance. That's he wanted to get out of jail. And it worked. Then he turns right around and dumps all this back on you by asking for money, becoming homeless, possibly ending back up in jail. He just keeps creating more and more drama and more and more worry for you. It's incredibly selfish. Yes, he has an addiction. Yes, it's hard to overcome. But, not impossible. And it's not a free pass for bad behavior. You don't get to treat the people you love the way he treats you over and over again and get away with it. Or at least you shouldn't. If I were you, I'd be very angry that I have worried so much and tried so hard and my child just lied and manipulated yet again. Heck, I'm angry for you. You give him so much already and he just takes and takes and takes and then holds his hand out for more. You can't save him from himself. Only he can. As far as it not being the right place? He made up his mind after one night. He doesn't even know if it was the right place. He didn't give it a chance. If he really wanted to change, he would have made it work. At least given it a week or more before deciding it wasn't right. And instead of just leaving would have tried to find an alternative. I firmly believe all he wanted was out of jail. [/QUOTE]
