[QUOTE="Tiredof33, post: 628597, member: 13558"] Jeanne, write as much and as often as you please, it does help. I had problems with my difficult child from a young age and he started drug use early. With all of the problems I had with him I STILL FELL FOR ANOTHER CON lasting about six months a few years ago. He had truly been laid off about four times and he was truly enrolled in college courses and on the Dean's List. Then things fell apart for him, and as a true difficult child, it was easier to lie and party on my money that straighten out his college problems. He is 36yo and I have accepted that I can not trust or believe most of what he says. These are our children and we want the best for them. I understand your feelings, mine is older and I am fed up with his problems. So I started looking after me first and I will never go back to the old me. While mine never stole as much money as yours did, I spent a good chunk trying to 'help'. Mine is extremely intelligent (as your daughter sounds like she is) and it is sad that they didn't take this intelligence and creativity and use it for good. I did have a lot of guilt in the beginning and mine used it for 'poor me' excuses. I finally see him for what he is and he shows no remorse. I have developed a low tolerance for the other low achievers in my family. Life has taught me that family blood does not mean that you have to take the abuse they dish out. So many are just too lazy and greedy to work for things in life, mine included. I still have days where I am bothered, overall I count my many blessings. I wish you peace today and hopefully your troubles will be over soon. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
