[QUOTE="Terry-overwhelmed, post: 752243, member: 24359"] Thank you so much for understanding. I really am hurting as if someone has died. From what I read, I am an enabler but how do you not help your grown children? I see so many parents with grown responsible adults and wonder why my son is the way he is. I have paid lawyer fees, a bail bondsman, parking tickets, food bills, electric bills, etc over the years when he was struggling. I always said its for his kids but when his children were removed from the home, I still helped him make ends meet. I sent care packages when he was incarcerated, drove 8 hours to visit him in prison and wrote him letters. I thought after two years in prison he would be a new man but three years later, he is still the same. It just makes me sad. Now I did not help him today and he wont answer my texts. Isn’t raising his kids a big enough sacrifice without him making me feel like I should be helping him? Believe me, if I did not live with a spouse I would let him live here. My husband gave up so much when we took in my 3 grandkids that he treats like his own flesh and blood. I do want to thank everyone who answered this post and the last. I really appreciate everyone of you. I am just so sad. [/QUOTE]
