[QUOTE="so ready to live, post: 691809, member: 20054"] Hi Jacquelina. We are here. We get it. Copa's right, it sounds as if you have put many supports under him only to have him reject them. We tried this also. Our son would "go along" to continue to receive our assist and as soon as he needed to be at appointment/training on his own, he would quit. "don't need their help, I can do it myself". But he never did. For him, it was asking too much to do the work to drug test clean or even get up by 10am. saying "I was up all night, I'm sick today" over and over. It is/was never too much work to ask us for money though. If we had a dime for every time we drove to pick him up (at agreed upon time) only to have him not bother to be awake...I see such foolishness on our part. People who have not been in this don't get it. That's a fact for sure. Ignore them, knowing in your heart that YOU have done all that's possible. Yes, yes, yes--this is what's possible now. No lease signing, no money-no more. A different relationship that's for sure, but still a relationship.[I] I will continue to pray for our son, feed him if he comes over and send him on his way[/I]---good advice today from you to me. Thank you. Prayers. [/QUOTE]
