[QUOTE="Tiredof33, post: 593401, member: 13558"] Kay, It is so hard to understand the 'whys' behind their behaviors. Mine stole from me and helped his friends steal from me. My car, all my jewerly, I came home from work one day and they had cleaned out my apartment. I did call the police. After my son's last conn to get money from me I still tried to help him relocate to another area to start over. When I finally said no more he had nasty words (text) and threatened suicide. I refuse to be treated with such disrespect!! My saving grace is there are no children, and even if he does have children with the current girlfriend I know I will never see them. Drugs, mental illness, or both, until my son get help and is serious about treatment I would rather not hear from him. He has been in so many programs and maybe someday he will get tired of his lifestyle. My son will be 35 in a few months and girlie is about 38. Learning about enabling, codependence, and detachment has help me so much. Also, this forum! Some days are easier than others, none of us would choose this, and here we are anyway. It's completely out of our control. I stay busy and give thanks for my positives in my life. You are doing the right thing. (((huggs and blessings))) [/QUOTE]
