[QUOTE="Lil, post: 669379, member: 17309"] EXACTLY! This is exactly what I fear. If I offer to buy him some groceries, or to give him a ride and then he asks again and again and again. He needs to do things for himself. And I hate that. Because if he was a "typical" child instead of a Difficult Child, I'd do for him. If he were responsible and worked or went to school and treated us with respect, he'd still be living at home and probably hating it and wanting to get his own place! It would be ... wonderful. But he's not. And I see him saying, "I can't get a job here. I need to be in your town. I need a place to stay." And we have to tell him no and then...what? Our own son is homeless in our own town. And I feel like this bad person for turning him away - again. And he doesn't see it. He actually doesn't see that his choices have led to this and that his own actions have caused this. He actually thinks he's tried his best. :( [/QUOTE]
