[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 568853, member: 1514"] LMS.... he doesnt have to believe in something right now. Lord at his age (how old is he now?) Yeah 23...ok, yeah I was a PITA myself...lol. I think at that point I was claiming to be Wiccan. Or a complete atheist or agnostic. I cant remember now. I have been so many things over the years. Wiccan may have come later...probably. At 23 I think I claimed I didnt believe at God at all. I didnt need no stinkin religion! Probably much like your difficult child. I had been through a whole lot of stuff at that point and it really didnt feel like much was there for me. I had to rely on myself. Obviously over the years I have morphed through several phases. One of my favorite phrases is "there are no atheists in foxholes." Well there are no Atheist Mom's of those men/women in those foxholes either. I learned that too. I think your son will find his place in time. As far as him being grateful...well there is something you can do about that one. Make him think. Take a piece of paper and write down every last thing you are doing for him. Put fair market value next to it. Then ask him if he can do any of those things for himself or hire someone to do them for him? If not, he better either cough up the money to pay you at which point you will put earplugs in and not listen to him whine or be nice to you and you will be willing to continue to help him because you love him. Or you would happily call his PO and report that he simply cannot live in the free world. The choice is his. [/QUOTE]
