[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 674959, member: 19522"] Good for you Hopeful, the more you experience and post the stronger I see you growing. You are doing so well. You did a lot of work finding this shelter for him. You know he does have a choice for warmth, structure and help. He does not want that. So, remember this response when he calls, comes around and bemoans his circumstances. He has options. He needs to know your home is [I][U]not[/U][/I] an option. Yay for your local police, they are on it! Perfect response, you do not have to be engaged with this nonsense. Ugh, this is constant, you are not a taxi service. Your son is a pretty smart kid, I think he should be able to do just fine taking care of himself. By not falling for his shuck and jive stories, you are helping him see that he needs to be honest and forthright...... if he is getting it, he would stop harassing his parents, and get on with his responsibility. This is part of the manipulation. Hang tight Hopeful. Our d c's try to[I] drive a wedge between[/I] parents. One becomes the bad guy, the other, the "kind" parent. D c's, are really good at this stuff. I agree, so true. I am glad you are not spinning. It is perfectly normal to go through the gamut of emotions. We are coming out of the FOG of enabling, it is a good thing for us, and them. There is always hope, just not under our roof.Good for you Hopeful. My hubs favorite line is "Talk is cheap" this is so true. My two have a lot they need to show in action, before I will say they have changed. Oh good, a sponsor! Yay, Hopeful. One more person who you can talk with who has been through the journey. Awesome. Fill up your toolbox! Thank you for sharing Hopeful, you are doing so well despite such an onslaught from your boy. He is trying everything to rally the troops, he really should be trying to better his life, rather than spending all of this time trying to hook you folks back in. Keep strong, it is the hardest, but actually most LOVING thing you are doing for your son. Your baking frenzy sounds like yummy fun. Take care Hopeful, have a great time with your family. You are going to be just fine sister! (((Hugs))) leafy [/QUOTE]
