[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 428738"] I think you did GOOOOD! Let this be HIS problem...his situation to work out. He got himself into the situation...he can find his way out. GOOD for you that you did NOT let his history of lack of effort, forthought, responsibility and general gfgness get in the way of YOUR LIFE. My guess is this has happened in the past AND it didn't do any good anyway. Might have even made things worse...as we inadvertantly send the wrong message....leading to entitlement....last thing in the world our difficult children need! Yep, let him work out his own difficult situations. I wouldn't even CONSIDER helping him unless he earns it and earns it [U]consistently and clearly[/U] and even then I would do so in a very limited way. You are wise and strong. [/QUOTE]
