[QUOTE="Acacia, post: 714846, member: 19832"] Pasa, you bring up an important issue about your son wanting the counselor to work on you to get what he wants. My son in in jail (more than once) and over the years his counselors have said he should lean on family until he can get back on his feet. "Why don't you live with them?" They only hear his sad story about how cold-hearted we are, rather than about all the wasted support, heartache, and unacceptable behavior on his part. It's frustrating, but I keep trying to remember that what others think about me is none of my business. Keep posting to stay strong. We get stronger the more we take care of ourselves. More and more I believe that as long as my difficult children see themselves as victims, they will not be motivated to change, and as long as they see themselves as victims, all power rests outside their reach.
