[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 199801, member: 3388"] Heather, Like someone already said, I also think that your difficult child is being emotionally abusive to you. difficult child 1 is similar to your difficult child in this way. difficult child 1, like your difficult child, actually thinks the world revolves around him. My only purpose in life is to kiss his arse, bow down to him, provide him with an endless amount of cash, and wait on him hand and foot:angry-very:!!! I've learned how to put difficult child 1 in his place. I never argue with him. I give him short explanations, period. If he asks why, I remind him that I will not argue with him. If he continues to try to escalate the situation, I tell him to leave the room. If he refuses, I leave the room and ignore him. I refuse to give him money for anything that isn't 100% necessary. difficult child 1 sits on his arse and refuses to make any real effort to find a job. husband and I are struggling financially due to the economic crisis our country is in. difficult child 1 knows this and doesn't care. All difficult child 1 cares about is difficult child 1 - plain and simple. So, when the time comes and difficult child 1 asks for money to apply to very expensive private colleges (his GPA is currently a 2.6), the answer will be plain and simple too - Sorry, I don't have money to give you for application fees - Instead of gaming, you should be working. difficult child 1 will probably try to make us feel guilty - Afterall, it's OUR fault his future will be ruined, lol!!! It WON'T work!!! Time for a bit of reality, difficult child 1:angry-very:... Heather, you are a very dedicated and loving parent who wants to make sure your kids have the best lives possible. I think your difficult child takes advantage of this. She is being very manipulative. Unfortunately, you can't stop her behavior. You can only change the way you respond to it. Sorry you're going through HE77 with her. Sending hugs... WFEN [/QUOTE]
