[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 763928, member: 831"] Hi Cora, I replied to your other thread, but in my search for wisdom and support, Deni D wrote this in her response to you that flew off the page and hit me right between the eyes. Your son expects you to allow him to use your address and to lie about it. From my perspective, not a harsh decision in the least. Given his age and behavioral history, it makes very good sense. He's in his 40s. My son is 27 and if I continue my behavior patterns with him, he will be in his 40s continuing to belittle, gaslight, and trash-talk about me. At 27 he believes he deserves my protection (though, he would claim I don't "support" him not "protect" him). He knows my emotional weaknesses and attempts to exploit them whenever he wants something. I am just now recognizing his narcissism rather than him just being immature, which he is very much so. I am sorry for your struggles, but greatly appreciate you posted about them. It has been very helpful to me as I struggle to change my behavior with my son and break free from him. [/QUOTE]
