[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 745314, member: 16024"] Hi Trying. Your son is not learning anything because he has no skin in the game. You are the one who is paying the price for his relapses, not him. He gets nothing out of it because he doesn’t WANT to get anything out of it. They changed some things, and now he doesn’t like it? WTF???? He is not SUPPOSED to like it! It should be uncomfortable, disconcerting, a drudgery of working on yourself and learning some unpleasant truths. This isn’t a hotel or a vacation resort. They aren’t there to cater to his every whim and make things suit him. If they changed things, there is probably a reason. Yes, tell him that you are done paying, but.... He won’t believe you in the beginning. He will do and say things to make you go back on your word. He will up the ante, so to speak. You will have to mean it if you say it. [/QUOTE]
