[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 365072, member: 3419"] HA! Saint, schmaindt. I ain't no saint. :happy: I know the feeling. Is your son still living at home? Regardless of his mental issues, he still needs to follow rules. You need boundaries to protect yourself, too. That means not running to his rescue every time he calls. Not even answering half of his calls. Not allowing him to verbally abuse you. That sort of thing. Did you make him this way? Highly doubtful. We have all done things we wish we wouldn't have, but one, single misstep on a parent's part is not the cause of mental illness or spectrum disorders or anything of the sort. It's typically genetic, with-environmental issues thrown in. I wouldn't wish my son on anyone. Then again, maybe I'm such a control freak, I'm afraid that someone else will scr*w him up more badly than I have! [/QUOTE]
