[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 727424, member: 17635"] LSW, HI Lisa, My son is almost 37, having recently stolen from my parents and a girlfriend of just a few weeks (his latest enablers). If Difficult Child ever wants to change, his dad and I will be so ready. Until he does, nah. And, we learned this the hard way over twenty years. :frown: Based on our experience, it only gets worse when we give them any help. Hopefully, your son (and ours) will want a different life....and it could get better. husband and I tried to help Difficult Child so many times with paying for therapy, giving him a place to stay (at home and paying for an apartment), gift cards, cash, Groupons....it goes on and on. We did not totally stop enabling until a few years ago--about the time I found Conduct Disorders. While our Difficult Child is not making progress right now, my husband and I have found a much, much better way to live. Until your son decides he wants to try a better way, I recommend you looking out for you. I learned that tactic here and it did remarkable good for husband and me. Stay with us, please. SS [/QUOTE]
