[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 699943, member: 18516"] This is part of what frustrates me the most as he always blames his life's condition on his childhood. Here's what he posted about that. [I]Yeah my life has been s**t since birth no changes no love just pain hard knocks nothing positive I live by myself and am always pushed away by people. [/I] It's frustrating that he does not see any of the good in his life. I want him to understand that it's his attitude that causes people to push him away. This is also where I have to remember not to engage. I know from past experience that if I try and remind him of all the positives in his life, the conversation will turn into a battle. This is so true and I try to remember this. Just as I try to live in the moment the same is true for my son. At that "moment" in his life he was filled with hate and rage and posted about it. As much as I dislike reading those ugly words, I suppose it's good that he is able to vent. So true Pasa, it never gets easier. It is hard to watch Albie, and I do my best to not give into fear. When we give into fear we lose control. You are so right, trying to reason with them only makes it worse. I always remind myself "do not engage". Thank you all so much for your kind words and support. :flowers: [/QUOTE]
