[QUOTE="Lost in sadness, post: 750190, member: 21056"] Oh my gosh everyone! Thank you all for your replies and the time you take to read the stories of others. Can someone please tell me how to quote sections so I can reply to individuals rather that the whole reply showing.... I do feel I just want to get off this journey now...I know I deserve to but there is always that nagging doubt that it feels selfish to 'wash your hands' of someone that didn't even ask to be here. My son is so manipulative and it works, I do feel the guilt he wants me to feel, The question I am always asking my husband is "does he know he is manipulating?", I can't help but think he actually believes it. He believes he has been done to and treated badly, pushed out of the family, unloved and thats what plays on my mind and hurts. It doesn't make any sense why someone would continue in patterns that end them up in trouble or homeless etc. He is smart and articulate....why would you continue in destructive patterns and not learn unless there is actually something wrong with you. He has not forged any paperwork, I think he has just palmed off the letting company with a story that the bill will be paid soon and if not his parents will help. To be honest, my husband and I painted a lovely picture of him just so they would let him have the room because we wanted him out of our house, Kinda feel guilty. Thank you all. xx [/QUOTE]
