[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 648986, member: 1550"] Nikito, I'm glad. I've had many years to think about it. Please post whenever you need to. Somebody is always here and we DO understand. I'm so sorry your son pulled that "I'm disowning you" ploy. Of course, if you offered him $1000 he wouldn't disown you, not yet. The thing that is so mind boggling is...THEY are the ones breaking the law, THEY are the ones hurting those who love them, THEY are the ones doing the bad stuff...and they disown us because we won't help them self-destruct??? I don't think our troubled adult children think right. And they don't WANT to get help to do better. At least not now. You've hit a home run giving him your all. Now have a great life and focus on your other loved ones who know how wonderful you really are, yourself (you need to be very good to YOU), and start doing those things you've been putting off while trying to save your difficult child. Try to accept your son as he is...no matter how awful. It is what it is and you have no control over his choices. "Tomorrow is the First Day of the Rest of Your Life." Make it a great rest-of-your-life. It takes some practice, but you CAN have a good life even with a struggling adult child in the background. Hugs!!! [/QUOTE]
