[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 653812, member: 17635"] Terry, I hope you do this. For so many years, I felt husband was wrong, almost un-feeling, and did not get it. A decade later, I believe he was correct all along. His take on what was going on was more right than I ever dreamed. No way was I able to see that while in the midst of difficult child's manipulations. Heck, i would have refused to see it as manipulation. Once, difficult child called while we were on a mini-vacation, wanting money for cat food. husband was totally against it. I was all about, "Let's find a Wal-mart NOW. [B]He needs this money." [/B]We wired him $35 and I felt so much better. husband did not feel better. Certainly, difficult child bought more spice. This was before we learned he was using spice daily, while unemployed. Our difficult child slept on a park bench one solitary time. He has thrown this up to us every chance he gets. Never mind that he had burned so many bridges. Nope, he slept on the bench was because his parents were jerks. If it was not so sad, it would be funny. Hang in there and stay strong. Do not be manipulated. My guess is your son wants you to feel guilty. Do not put yourself in the bulls-eye.. You will be glad later. Sure wish I had found this forum fifteen years ago. Hugs, SS [/QUOTE]
