[QUOTE="StephAnn, post: 549483, member: 15171"] I do not treat him as if he is lazy or a trouble maker and if my statement about that came off as me treating him that way, I certainly did not mean it that way. I mean he has numerous people who love and support him, who help me in any way (other than cash) they can. I believe in my son and I believe he can do anything he sets his mind to. The lazy part comes from him having job interviews and time after time he just decides he doesn't want to go or he stays up all night when he knows he has to go to an interview the next morning. He makes excuse after excuse. I've gone so far as to call him a few hours before an interview to wake him and remind him and he will still miss it. When asked about his interviews later, he gets sullen and upset and there go the excuses as to why he missed this one or that one. I know he is capable of many things and getting out of bed and going to an interview could be a simple thing but he turns it into a major problem. He has seen several doctors and each one has said mild depression. His anger only comes up when he is confronted with getting a job, going to school, making his own life. That is why I made the statement that I feel a lot is due to his laziness. IF he got a decent job and made his own money his self esteem would certainly rise. It did when he got the last job and worked a few weeks, then he decided he could do better and quit. Now he has no job, no money and you don't dare ask about a job or he gets mad. I'd never treat him like his only problems are laziness and he has never been a troublemaker. I do see the world through his eyes, more than I could ever say. [/QUOTE]
