[QUOTE="Sunlight, post: 72718, member: 97"] Terry, my frustration comes from ant not believing he has a problem even in all this. he just says everyone does stuff but he is unlucky because he gets caught. the cousins sound the same, even though they are so drunk they can barely stand as they stand there and whine about their unhappy lives. meanwhile they are of a family of 10 children. the others work and live normally and have much bigger physical challenges etc. ant seemed to idolize them. one was telling him to save up because you can buy your own TV in prison. it was unreal. I think ant is enjoying the attention, I am sick of hearing about it all. I cant even talk to him and dont have to be around him at this point so that is good too. I do detach from rescuing him. I do not help him with money. However, as a parent unless you are a stone, your mind and heart get boggled by the misery your child is about to face. Ant seems oblivious to it all. he just doesnt get it. people who know me ask me about him all the time. it is like a circus sideshow I dont want to be a part of. My neighbors ask, the coworkers, my dear patients who have known me 26 yrs. ant himself will be crying with despair the minute he is walked out of the court and into a paddy wagon. he doesnt care about AA because he doesnt think he is an alcoholic. I am going outside and having a peaceful day of riding my tractor and mowing, pruning my flower bed, sipping iced tea. not answering the phone. [/QUOTE]
