[QUOTE="UKMummy, post: 693891, member: 19939"] Hi Sea66 You will find a lot of support here and many wise words from some amazing people. I also have a difficult son. He isn't causing me too much grief at present but is living just down the road and we never see each other. It's gone down to a text a week instigated by me. I've had to distance myself because he would take everything I have if I let him. These DCs are adults. They are not entitled to anything. They have to work for it and figure out their issues themselves. The easy thing is for them to blame us. They take no responsibility and use us as their emotional punch bags. My son is a bully. He's manipulative. I have had to detach but I didn't want to! I love him. I wanted to help him. But they take that from us. They tie our hands behind our backs because all they do is take advantage. The biggest thing that this group has taught me is that I am entitled to be happy. We HAVE to look after ourselves. Their choices should not define whether or not MY life is OK. Please take care of yourself and stay on this site. It's such a comfort to know we are not alone in our struggles with our DCs. [/QUOTE]
