[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 690749, member: 17720"] Leafy! How nice to "see" you! I have been wondering about you and thinking about you. And if everything is potentially something that needs to be changed, nothing changes. We can change some one thing, and see what changes. Lil, I think it would help a lot if you and Jabber could hone in on ONE THING you would like to address. In just this post you worry about his volatility, his lying, his lack of drive, his "not fair" attitude, his depression, his confusion, his lack of self-insight, his inability to find or get a job...No wonder you feel so empty. You're exhausted. Where would be a good place to start? My gut reaction (which counts not one iota, because I do not know your son) is that 99% of this can be explained by drug use. Not that it matters because I'm not his parent, but that is where I would start. The rest of it, Lil...in my humble opinion, it's just talk and deflection on his part. I don't think you should buy into it. He's a grown man who needs to have his pity parties when he's not supposed to be at work. [/QUOTE]
