[QUOTE="Beta, post: 757710, member: 22597"] Welcome Mitch2454. I am so sorry for what you're going through and, like everyone else here, I am so relieved you found this site. I would not have been able to survive if I had not had the compassionate, wise people who come here. YOU ARE NOT A BAD MOTHER! I know very well the guilt these kids bring out in us. If we were bad parents, we wouldn't even bother to feel bad or to seek out websites like this. You are doing the right thing by your son by requiring him to be accountable, and yes, I know how hard it is. Every fiber in our being, especially as mothers, wants to protect, nurture, and give to our children. But that backfires with kids who refuse to take responsibility for their lives and their choices and who feel entitled to be supported financially. You do not want to spend years of your life and thousands and thousands of dollars, being used as an ATM machine and emotional punching bag; only to have to make the break years from now. Do what you need to do now to help your son move toward responsibility. [/QUOTE]
