[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 739072, member: 19522"] Oh no JS, not again. My daughters used to break through my screens. Pry them off and climb through the window. They thought nothing of it.....”The door was locked” they would say with this look on their face like what else could they do but break in? Rolling eyeballs. To me, it is a statement of entitlement, [I]what’s yours is mine.[/I] This goes for not only what we work hard for, also the peace in our homes, our time and peace of mind. In their mind, it all belongs to them for the taking. Because we are their “family”. My two would play the family card as long as we let them. I know how hard this is, JS. But, my two and your son have no boundaries. We have to establish them. What is decent and common sense, [I]does not occur to them[/I]. That is the hard reality. I began to see my twos actions for what they were, a lack of respect. He is telling you what he thinks you want to hear, to try to get his way back into your home. If he meant it, he would move mountains to make it happen. Hah! Bs! I have often thought that my daughters and their friends who drug and choose to be homeless believe they are living “free” and we are all slaves to society. But, they don’t mind living off of us, if we allowed it. You can’t shun something, yet enjoy the benefits of another’s hard work, either by entitlement, or stealing. Change him into a robot, that is what addiction does. They are slaves or robots to their drug of the moment, nothing else matters. I stopped mentioning rehab, it only fell on deaf ears. I save my breath and pray for them to wake up. We do deserve peace in our own homes. Our kids are adults, nearly 30. My eldest, 39! My time on this earth is limited. I have had to accept that they will do as they please, no matter what I say. Hopefully one day they will see the light and find their potential, [I]that is entirely up to them.[/I] I am done with the bs. If they break into my home ever again, I will call the police. We are not rugs to be tread upon, taken advantage of, all in the name of family. Family shows kindness, caring and respect [I]to one another. [/I]It is not the one way street of their liking. Love says no to that. No, I will not allow you to take advantage of me. You can do this JS. Stay strong and firm. In the long run, they will have to look themselves in the mirror and own their choices and consequences, because we won’t allow them to put it all on us. (((Hugs))) Leafy [/QUOTE]
