[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 567404, member: 59"] Stay strong TL. This is where the tough love gets really really tough, as if it wasn't tough before huh?. But it's true he doesn't want help, he wants things given to him. What kind of insanity is it when he posts that he loves beer in the same breath as saying that he is cold and hungry and needs help but says he doesn't need recovery from drugs and alcohol just recovery from cold and homelessness. He needs to figure out why he is cold and hungry and homeless. And he needs to stop asking for a handout and start taking the help that is offered. Who does he think on fb is going to give him what he wants? This is crazy TL. And I am angry because he knows it gets to you and he is hoping you will give in. I know you are worried and scared out of your mind and have an awful pit in your stomach like what if he dies, but you cannot save him, he has to do that himself and he knows the way to get there. It is not fair that he is doing this to you, but he can only do that if you let him. Hard as it may be you have to stop reading that koi on fb. He knows how to get in touch with you, he always does when he wants something. And you have to make peace with the fact that yes he may die. We talk about that in our support group and we all agree that we had to get there before we could find peace in our lives. Remember we didn't cause it, we can't control it and we can't cure it. Your easy child deserves to have your full attention and to not see you sad and anxious because of what he is choosing to do with his life. (((((HUGS))))) Nancy [/QUOTE]
