[QUOTE="Tired out, post: 738258, member: 23103"] All of the problems on this forum lead back to one word. RESPONSIBILITY. NONE of these difficult (now adult) children will take responsibility for their words or actions. They blame and manipulate us, but take no responsibility themselves. Everything is someone else's fault. I feel bad that your husband got sucked into the altercations with that son. When my son said I should leave his father because he would make the rest of my life miserable I told him flat out that he is nuts. I picked his father, 40 years ago and I would pick him again today. I didn't say it but son was the one I didn't pick. Our children we are handed without knowing anything about their personality. We try to raise them, teach them morals and values. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I am coming to realize that no matter what I say our son will do as he pleases and so I must do as I please. My one way of controlling communication..I block him (on my cell) from contacting me except for 1 hour 6-7pm/per day. That way if he is texting for what ever reason at another time it just hangs and isn't delivered. That way every-time my phone dings I am not thinking "what now?" I hope things improve for you...
