[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 479201, member: 84"] If he refuses to work the program, refuses he has a problem, either with the gambling or the depression, there is no sense throwing money literally out the window. I know that sounds harsh, but it's the bottom line. Because difficult child's........well anyone honestly.......have to face the consequences of their actions/decisions until they reach a point of the aha moment when they have no other choice but to see they do have problems and face them. And yes, it's very hard on a parent to watch this whole process. And yes, there are those who never learn and never face their problems or seek help. We as parents just have to pray our kid isn't one of them. Because many do eventually learn somewhere down the road. I have one that refuses to learn because she refuses to see that she has mental issues ect. The other 2 difficult children went through the process and are doing well now. Sadly we can't force them to see it, we can't force them to accept treatment. If it were my child, I'd be done helping period. At 21 he's plenty old enough to man up and act like an adult and make his own way. Support him, sure, but not with cash ect. Hugs [/QUOTE]
