[QUOTE="Yem1971, post: 587819, member: 16115"] Thank you again for all your replies* I talked to my therapist today~ she told me pretty much what I already know that I am helpless about the kid, since he's not my bio kid. She asked me why I feel responsible? She said I blame them for stuff too, that I invited them into my home to live with me, so I either need to accept the situation or kick them out and she said I need to totally accept the situation and them as they are. Midwest mom, I do pretty much just remove the food/ drink trash and turn off the power that he leaves on. If he wants to sleep on dirty sheets and have his dirty clothes/ towels all over let him. I just go in remove what I must, try not to take it personally and go on with my day and taking care of myself. I have a bin on the main floor.. I throw stuff in if he leaves his stuff behind. He has gotten very good about keeping clean on the main level though. So maybe living with me has wore off on him a little after these three years. I admire your tenacity midwest mom...hearing that they are your kids are clean in their own places, gives me hope for him as well. Terryj2..yeah lol I do see the humor in it. I try not to take anything he does too seriously anymore. I try to just remain cool, calm and collected as far as him and his father go.
