[QUOTE="Hopeful97, post: 672749, member: 19678"] Leafy and Child of mime thank you for your support. I talked to him a couple of times after no contact for 2 months, help him out way beyond what I should. He starts calling and asking for stuff. I tell him no. He calls this morning I do not answer then he texts telling me his symptoms of his acid reflux saying he is hungry and asking me to bring him food. I tell him "I'm sorry, I can not." Then the insults threats and insults start. So I am taking no more calls or texts from him. I know it is going to be very hard but I have learned from you all that this is part of setting boundaries. I have to do this for me, for my mental and physical help and I guess for him too. I keep telling myself that he made these choices. This is hard, but I stopped contact for 2 months I can do it again I guess it'seems going to have to be for longer this time. It is obvious there has been no change and no desire for real change and real help. I started down the path that he (my son) does not have an education he is a drop out, but we did all we could - he got kicked out of 4 schools and 2 alternative learning programs. He has been having problems since he was about 9 and we got him help lots of ups and downs started to get really bad around 12 or 13 and thing just got worse and worse no matter what we did. I can not go back there. I'm sorry it seems as if I am turning to you all a lot, talking to you all really helps. I ordered the book Codependent No more and think I am going to try a newcomers meeting to Ala non. I also apologize if I am repeating myself . Thank you everyone for listening and giving my your feedback. [/QUOTE]
