[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 700776, member: 13542"] Most times when we stop enabling, when we say no, the hateful, manipulative, ugly communications begin from our kids. They want us to stay responsible for them and when we say that's now over, the usual first response from them is what you described. Stay strong. Refrain from responding to the ugliness. Take a deep breath and go out and do something to change the energy, take a walk, call a friend, get support for YOU. Hang in there, once he realizes you won't change your mind, this part will end. Boundaries are absolutely essential. [/QUOTE]
