[QUOTE="runawaybunny, post: 653636, member: 1"] I'm so sorry your son is dragging you down this very rocky road [USER=18456]@okie girl[/USER] Here is my take on your situation. You may find it helpful, or you may not. This is a very difficult road for you because you love your son. You have always had hopes and dreams for him as he was growing up and now you are frightened and disappointed by the life he has made for himself. Still, you are hopeful that he will become the person you had hoped he would be and start making better choices to improve his life. I hope that for you too, but you have to make decisions based upon what today's reality is presenting to you. He is a grown man and his choices and the consequences of those choices have nothing to do with you anymore. It's all on him. I agree with your husband. Time for your son to "man up" or face the consequences if he doesn't. Time for you to take good care of yourself and allow your son to take responsibility for his own life. No more money, no more favors. You will always love him, but that doesn't mean you have to let him take advantage of you anymore. I also agree with [USER=18238]@Jabberwockey[/USER]. Get help for yourselves and let your son find his own way. [/QUOTE]
