[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 589569, member: 3305"] Yep, Can SO relate ILMS! husband and I were used too...over and over again by our oldest difficult child in particular. Of course he had little brother to team up with at times. I remember getting a hug goodnight only to find the other brother crawling around to the other side of the bed to unplug phone they were grounded from. Or, giving hug goodnight just to see how close we were to sleeping while they had their beds stuffed and were waiting for a ride to go party. Then oldest difficult child upped the ante (while on Meth) when working for husband he stole 10,000k worth of computer equipment from husband's law firm client. He went to prison for that one. Today, husband and I receive restitution checks in the mail as husband was named part victim in the law firm computer theft. LOL...Oldest difficult child has been "born again" and HATES the fact that I go to the casino these days. What he doesn't know is that everytime we get a restitution check...I'm on my way out the door to the Casino!!! There is justice in the world, lol. Hang in there...I think almost all of us, and our good nature's/love, have been used like a drug. It's what they do. You'll be able to see through it better in the future. And remember my oldest difficult child was on his way to being a very dangerous mastermind criminal as he is very very smart and was very manipulative. He is 25 now, married with 2 daughter's he adores and another daughter on the way, Recently built and bought his first home and is working extremely hard for his growing family. There is hope.
