[QUOTE="Tiredof33, post: 511608, member: 13558"] So very sorry you are living this nightmare! My son also started at a very early age, younger than yours. I was a single parent and no support from the father emotionally or financially.I also did not date much because I knew no man was going to put up with what was going on in my house. Mine is now 33 and I thought this was in the past but he started all over again. Mine was in program after program and he loved the negative attention! He stole from me and helped his friends steal from me. I was told that I could not legally lock him out until he was 18. By some miracle he did stay out after I made him move out, but the thefts continued. He stole my keys and gave them to his new friends and they stole my car. The police called me and told me I had a big problem at home and I needed to get him under control. DUH, that was the understatement of the year. I am retired now and I have moved to another state and for 12 years have been married to a wonderful supportive man. My difficult child quit his job to go to school full time (who is going to support you???) and I had to call the police to get the 37yo girlie to stop harrassing me. The mother (they lived with her) told me they were out all night partying a lot, fight a lot, and he threatens to kill himself and cuts himself. Breaks his glasses and cell phone. I had no idea all of this was going on. He was doing well for a year and then he conned me into giving him money, he said he was homeless and I was trying to help him finish the semester. He was making very good grades and I don't know how as much as they partied. The con went of for several months until I called the police and the truth came out. I am so p***** at myself for fallling for this again, but I really thought it was in the past. She was in detox and he Baker Acted himself into the hospital. Now he really may be homeless, jobless, girlie has cut off all ties with friends. I pray this is rock bottom, I don't know how much lower he can go. I am so lucky there are no children involved, but I still feel as though my heart has been torn open one more time. But I am stronger now and it is his life his choices. plus not being around him helps. He is sending emails asking for money and I just igore him. We all on this forum have such sad stories you will cry just reading them. The hopes and the heartbreaks these difficult children bring are hell on earth. Regardless what they do or have done, they are our children and we love unconditionally. Stay strong and post often, start reading books, get counseling, get a hobby, exercise, try to stay sane. I pray daily for us all and to show us the way to help ourselves, they have to find their own way, but I pray from them too. You deserve a life too! This is a good book to start with.
