[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 749865, member: 17635"] JayP, nononononono, this is [U]not[/U] okay. husband and I received many such texts, emails, phone calls from our eldest son. After we (finally, after finding this forum) [B]refused to enable[/B] one more time, it got worse. Much worse. Then, after awhile, for husband and me, it slowly got so much better. Difficult Child is still cheating/stealing from others. He has not gotten one iota better. $$ are not helping him. Nothing will help until he recognizes he needs to change. But, husband and I have peace. Every now and again, we will hear from/about him, as will his sister, brother, aunt and one cousin. But, those times are few and far between and we recover much more quickly than in the old days. We will always love him and pray his life turns around. We recognize nothing we tried, in order to stay in his life, helped and all he ever wanted was money - not anything akin to a relationship. It will most likely get much worse for you before you gain this peace. From experience, I totally believe that peace is ahead for you when you decide you will not allow yourself to be treated like this. You deserve a much better life than this. I know it is not easy. As stated above, it took finding this forum for husband and me to see other options. I remember thinking that we must help Difficult Child because he was delusional and believed the horrible things he said about us. No matter if it was true; he believed it so we had to help (give $$). WHAT?!?! But, yes, in the FOG, I totally thought like that. Please stay with CD. Post often. The folks on this forum are so wise and kind. I am thinking about you tonight and sending up a prayer for better days for you. SS [/QUOTE]
