[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 708454, member: 18516"] Hi jrb, I'm so sorry for what you are going through. I know how hard it is. My son has blamed me and husband too also saying he had a horrible childhood. This is cop out. The fact is, there are no perfect parents, we have all made mistakes, however that is no reason for our children to blame us for the poor choices they have made. You can write down the name of shelters and give them to your son. That is really about all you can do. Be firm in your decision to not help financially. Your son is 30 years old and he should be taking care of himself. I know how hard this is, I've lived it and continue to live it. I love my son but his life, his dramas, his incarceration are on him. I have my own life to live and I do it without any guilt. You and your wife need to live your own life too. I know this easier said than done but it is possible. There is so much wisdom within these pages. Read others posts and keep posting yourself, it really helps. :staystrong::notalone: [/QUOTE]
