[QUOTE="Tiredof33, post: 582536, member: 13558"] I have been conned,lied to, and manipulated so many times trying to help my difficult child. I thought he was doing much better as he was clean and sober for about one year. At 3 years this has been his longest relationship ever, I met her 1 time. Then the emails and calls for money started and all of the drama that 2 difficult child's in a relationship can cause. They remind me of the Tasmainian Devil's whirlwind on the carton show lol!!!! I was conned into giving my difficult child money to finish the semester. Since he was on the Dean's list I agreed to help him for 4 months so he could at least get credit for those classes. It was a lie, he had dropped out that semester (more difficult child problems) and they were both in on it. They were having a great time going out every night, and guess who was paying for it. It makes me feel both mad and stupid to be played yet again. BUT I have finally accepted the fact that this is what my difficult child is and I can not help him or make him change. At the present time I feel as if my difficult child only cares about me when I give him money. I wish I had been as strong as you are when mine was 19, but I honestly thought one day he would grow out of it. He cut off contact with me after a nasty text, threating suicide, and it is always my fault. He does have my number and he can call collect WHEN he is working and is doing something to help himself. He quit his job to go to school full time. I am certain my difficult child has mental illness that was never detected. If he every aks for help again I will verify the facts this time - and for no reason will I ever be dumb enough to send him money. I read in the news where Ted Bundy's mother had passed and she had proclaimed his innocence until the very day he confessed. It's just too painful to see our children as they really are, but, I'm trying! I will always love my son unconditionally, but I do not like the person he has become, and I will not be used again. This forum is a great place for information and support, welcome back. It has helped me a great deal. (((huggs))) [/QUOTE]
