[QUOTE="Catmom, post: 709729, member: 21332"] I am sorry too that you are dealing with this stress. I believe you have done it all for your son and you didn't get positive results. When we all reached this point, it was then that the enabling slowly stopped. It does get easier to say no to money handouts but sometimes, the guilt just bites you in the hiney. And I think we all either struggle with that or have struggled with that. It sounds like your story is similar to all of ours, especially the part about the other kids being more productive with their lives. I have an amazing son who is so considerate of me, and I have a son that would rob me blind if I allowed it. I don't take credit for my son who is doing well and I don't take the blame for the one who is struggling. You did the right thing, and unfortunately, sometimes doing the right thing is so painful, but as I keep reminding myself "this too shall pass". Hang in there! [/QUOTE]
