[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 333473, member: 1514"] Yep, yep. Its true that they have to be the ones who want to do the changing. There is nothing in this world that you can do to make them want to change. NOTHING! I guess I am fortunate that my son didnt go into a bunch of hogwash and make up stories about us. It wouldnt have worked anyway. We live in a small community where everyone knew us and he was watched constantly and everyone told on him so we knew what he did almost before he did it. He never could figure out how he got caught so often...lol. I personally think the best thing to do when they get like this is to have them move out and learn what being on their own is all about. Life as an adult isnt all its cracked up to be. Funny thing happened with my son yesterday. I heard my own words coming out of his mouth. A friend of his got evicted from a very cheap trailer and my son told him flat out "you messed up. You cant come live here. I will take care of your baby for a day or two but you have to find your own way. Thats what adults do! Grow up!" LOL. [/QUOTE]
