[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 652216, member: 18516"] WearyMom, you did great. My heart hurts for you, I know how hard it is to hear those words "I'm hungry". One thing for sure our Difficult Child are very resourceful and they will not starve. One thing I always keep in mind is that they always manage to find a way to have their booze and drugs so if they can do that, they can surely come up with a meal. They don't seam to have a problem putting out the effort to get their drugs or booze but when it comes to food it's like it's too hard for them so instead they call us and hope they can get us to feel sorry for them. My son has made many comments about how he should just kill himself because he's so tired of always screwing things up. It is hard to hear those things but all I can do is tell him I'm sorry he's struggling and that I love him. I've been through it for so many years with my son that he rarely asks me for anything because he knows I will say no. Of course that doesn't stop him from spinning a story in hopes that I will feel sorry for him. It's good that you have talked to your mother in-law about what's going on. It sounds like she understands. Sometimes people don't so be on your guard for that also. I have had people make comments to me "how can you allow your son to be homeless and hungry" to which I tell them, he's an adult, I have no control over his choices and it's his choices that have led him to be homeless and hungry. These type of people you have to just let go. If they cannot support you then you should distance yourself. Don't let your daughter or anyone else try and make you feel guilty. This is nothing that you did. One thing I know for sure is that people that have found their way to this site truly love their children, if they didn't care they wouldn't be here. I hope you are taking time to take care of yourself. ((HUGS)) to you................ [/QUOTE]
