[QUOTE="Tiredof33, post: 580541, member: 13558"] Payla, I have the same problem with my difficult child. At 34yo I am certain he would still be living at home if I allowed it. He quit his job to go to college full time, whow in the h*** did he think was going to support him, asking for money constantly. I am retired and my income will never get higher unless I go back to work. Plus the sky high BiPolar (BP) from the stress. He always has rocky relationships but this one he is in now is the worse. I know the drugs and alcohol made his problems worse, but I have finally accepted that it is his choice and there is nothing I can do about it. Your son will continue to call, beg and plead, becuase he knows he can wear you down, just as mine does. My son was so hateful and nasty when I told him no and stuck to it. They are adults, as long as we continue to give them money they will continue to ask. As much as it hurts, my son can live on the streets and eat in the soup kitchens, it's his life and his choices. At his age I am surprised that the counselor is calling you, unless it is because he has told them you will pay his expenses. [/QUOTE]
