[QUOTE="Tiredof33, post: 578177, member: 13558"] Payla, My son was clean and sober for 1 year and then relapsed. It was amazing the difference in him. When he started asking money money again I should have known he had relapsed, but I did not want to believe it. It was a very difficult decision, but I will not try to help him again. Think of what your son would do if you were not around. My BiPolar (BP) was through the roof and I had to step back. It is a form of emtional blackmail and he knows you will give in, just as mine knows that I will. I do not hear from mine on holidays, he doesn't even know when my birthday is and he is a selfish adult when he his using. So that is his choice and I have made mine. They will drag you down with them and send you to the 'poor house' without blinking an eye. I never in a million years thought I would still be going through this, I always thought he would grow up someday, but my difficult child is determined to stay an irresponsible child for as long as he can. If I had all of the money I had spent on him, and the money from things being stolen, I could go on a very expensive vacation lol!!! Take care of you! I undertand how stressful this is.
