[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 684293, member: 19522"] Hi Rebelson, so sorry for the stress of all of this. It is hard. It is the same for me, I am the "root" as your son says. The snarky, disrespectful, awful, manipulative attitude is unacceptable. When my two were your sons age they were still in and out the revolving door of my home. I give you props girl, because you are [I]doing this.[/I] It is hard stuff. My daughters have thrown many reasons my way of why they are the way they are. They have blamed me, and for awhile, I soul searched and ruminated over mistakes I made. We are only human. No one is a perfect parent. These kids know how to get us where it hurts and they just keep twisting the blame blade deeper. Rubbish, it is so much rubbish. My monkeys, but not my circus........... I am not opposed to young adults living at home, if everyone is [I]working together.[/I] These kids just don't seem to thrive at home. It just becomes a battleground with them having more expectations of us then they do of themselves. There is this air of entitlement, an attitude of "You owe me" rather than appreciation. It is no way to live. I hear you Rebel, you did the best job you could with your son. You are grieving your loss and venting here. Good, get it out. Where else are we supposed to bring this? Our d cs will use our unconditional love to their advantage. Doesn't mean we have to [I]like them,[/I] or what their choices are. That's right. I don't like my two right now. I love them, but I do not like them. I do not like their abusiveness and manipulation, their shunning and blaming. I hear you Rebel. I am also learning that if and when my two decide to try to get clean, I am going to have to learn a whole new skill set. From what I have read here, it is another roller coaster ride of hope and promise, then backsliding. I am going to have to brace myself for that. For now, one day at a time. I am with you Rebelson, we worked really hard to raise our kids and to have so much spite and venom thrown at us is hurtful to say the least. Well, we're just going to have to build up our armor and fend off those daggers. Nothing stops ugly faster in its tracks then no response and living well. :warriorsmiley: (((Hugs))) leafy [/QUOTE]
