[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 740844, member: 23349"] I think many of us could have written this. This is the crux of the tragedy, isn’t it? Our children seem to not be able to think beyond their immediate wants and desires. They are continually in survival mode, because they can’t think and plan ahead far enough to get themselves stabilized. Perhaps it is not that he does not want to try to understand your position. Perhaps he is truly incapable right now. I don’t think it helps to beat your head against the wall trying to understand why. It simply is the way it is right now. Perhaps one day it will be different. I’m sorry, Copa. I know it’s hard on his birthday today. Give yourself permission to be angry and frustrated if you need to be. But be nice to yourself, and try to let go and have some peace and relaxation when you can. [/QUOTE]
