[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 683153, member: 1550"] What if you stopped giving him any money or bringing him food? There are plenty of food banks and government services. No reason he can't quit the drugs and work but your gifts to rescue doesn't make him need to do it. Often we think we help them when we don't insist that they act their ages. in my opinion we hurt them when we take care of them and let them stay in childhood. I'd cut him off unless he shows huge changes. Yes, he will be very angry that you do this. He enjoys spending his life with no responsibility. But in my opinion he has to grow up and you need to detach and stop taking care of your son who is now a man. I have a feeling that you already know all this. All opinions are our own. Take what you lIke and leave the rest. Do take care of youself. You matter as much as your adult son does and don't deserve this. Would you let a spouse abuse you? This is no different, your son or not. He is abusing you aND your aresponse still teying to help him. He doesnt want help nor does he care how mEan he is to you. Wby is that ok? No son shold trear his mother lIke he is aN abusiness spouse. Just my honest thoughts. Him being your son doesn't mean it's ok to take that from him.. Even do him favors. [/QUOTE]
