[QUOTE="2much2recover, post: 637666, member: 18366"] I, too, have banged my head against that bad mother door endlessly. Once I had enough of my 40 year old difficult child I had a lot of thoughts about my mothering (first went no contact 4 years ago than talked for 1 year now at no contact again). In truth, I am a nurturer by nature - this my difficult child daughter takes advantage of. I say she is a sociopath because I have discussed it with my Dr. One big tip off was as crawling and walking toddler, if I would tell her no-no, say playing with an electric cord, she would crawl/run as fast as she could to put her fingers down her throat an make herself vomit to stop the "no -no" In other words at such a young age, already had figured out how to manipulate and control situations. Through out the years I have met and played with many other children and they love me because they see and FEEL the nurturer that I am. With difficult child her needs are like a fountain I can never fill. Exhausting. It sounds to me that you - as a mother - have gone above and beyond to "help" your son and like my difficult child daughter it is a fountain that can never be filled. Cut yourself some slack - you have done the best that you can do. At this point in your life your difficult child son has discovered that the only way for YOU to have PEACE of mind is if you pay for it. The BUCK STOPS WITH YOU. At his age he deserves no more money from his parents. Period. You are doing the right thing. [/QUOTE]
