[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 618481, member: 3305"] DDD and wg67 thank you. I'm hoping he is receptive to the help offered as well, DDD. Just got off the phone with young difficult child...well, I should say just got hung up on by young difficult child. Apparently, he believes our love is "conditional" based on the fact that we had simple rules for him to follow in our home when he got out of prison last Decemeber. He says he feels abandoned. That he cry's when he thinks about it. He is angry. He says other's in there with him think we are not doing our job as loving parents. I don't know how long he expects us to continue to support his drug/alcohol use. He continues to claim that if dad wasn't around that I WOULD let him live with me...not so. I want him to grow up and I told him as much. So for now...no more contact til he contacts me. He claims he wants to write a letter and spell out his reasoning. Should be interesting. It would appear that all he is doing with his time in the hospital is thinking...obsessing, on how dad and I are wrong. The last thing I said to him was that these were "our rules our house...how is that unreasonable?" I guess we are too tough...which is laughable! I wish we had been "tougher" parents when he was young. Then maybe he wouldn't feel entitled to be taken care of the rest of his life. Mental issues or not...I told him there is no excuse!
