[QUOTE="JayPee, post: 760286, member: 23405"] Thank you all for your comments and replies. Honestly, just receiving input from you all makes me feel like crying. You don't know me personally, but it feels like you care and Copa you are right, I am going through a self-attack and I feel like a bad person for failing. Failing in the sense of not being strong enough and having the right discernment of knowing what's the cap on helping. Well, no let me re-phrase that. My gut knows the cap on "helping" but it's my inability to be strong enough to put limits on my helping even when I know in the long run it only prolongs the inevitable. I think what's brought me to being to this place again is that they both have turned a corner and are respectful to me now. I think it was easier to say "enough" when they were horrible towards me but that has changed. I'm hoping it will get better. My older son has just started working temp work last week and it's keeping him busy 8 hours a day and or night if he works 3rd shift. They get paid the same day they work so he doesn't have to wait weekly or bi-weekly for money. He just got his car back after repairs from the accident and will be living in it again and showering at the gym. He seems ok with that. His working will keep him from being underfoot and looking for my constant emotional, financial and pshycological support. My younger son (28), getting a haircut today and looking to schedule an appointment for a job interview. I think his roommates have been giving him a really hard time about not working (Justly so!). He previously worked for almost 8 months straight and didn't ask me for a dime. I know he's capable but he can quickly fall back into laziness, smoking pot, playing video games and not caring about anything. I truly appreciate being able to speak my heart with no judgement - just good sound advice and encouragement. [/QUOTE]
