[QUOTE="2much2recover, post: 637936, member: 18366"] If it helps you feel any better: these difficult child have a way of manipulating everyone, including their friends. While you envision him without a home, lonely, sitting on a street corner starving to death - he is probably dropped his stuff somewhere and is either partying right now or looking for someone to party with. Come to terms with the fact that even if it is a homeless shelter and one meal a day difficult child needs to get his act together and there is nothing that you haven't done to get to this point. It is him that hasn't done. Maybe living like a bum on the street will be the wake-up call he needs, maybe it won't be. However, with difficult child being 19 this is [I]the exact time[/I] that you need to stand up to him and let HIM figure it out. The rest, on his part, really, is a bunch of blah, blah, blah. Hurray for you for having the courage to do what needed to be done. I know you might not be feeling heroic right now but as the mother of a 40 year old difficult child - do you really want to be living this way for 20+ more years? [/QUOTE]
