[QUOTE="newstart, post: 755596, member: 22416"] Okie girl, I know you have been down a wicked hard road with your son now age 48. I know you are deep down soul tired and also worried about him and his failure to thrive. I too have an older adult child daughter almost 38 years old. I quit giving my daughter money when I realized that I was paying for all her partying and traveling. I thought I was helping her get ahead, I was lied to about why she needed the money and fell for it. I never would have done that to my parents so I was very uneducated about bipolar/borderline and how badly she could use me and not feel bad about it. Now if she asks me for money I just start making ape noises and act like a monkey. That shuts her up right away. She knows when I go into ape mode that there is no trying to get money off of me. Next time your son calls with his sad stories, and they can make up some real good ones, go full on into ape mode, bet it will be the last time he asks for money. [/QUOTE]
