[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 637433, member: 17461"] Yep. And we have been where you are. That means no one here will judge you or your child. We are all way too hard on ourselves already, and our kids -- oh, man, they are so hard they drive us to distraction. Looking back on everything, I just can't believe it, sometimes. Can't believe any of this even really happened to me. And MWM is right. Shelters are totally free. My daughter was homeless, once. They don't like to use the shelters because they are separated by gender, they have to be not high on drugs when they come in, and they lock them in so they can't go out and get drugs and then, come back. My daughter was 38 when she was homeless? And I called the shelter and the shelter mailbox and the homeless outreach person so much that my daughter was actually questioned about what her mother thought she was doing, calling the homeless shelter so much. Ahem. *** Your son is abusing you. He is doing something called "gaslighting" in a way. That is when someone we should be able to trust tries to hurt us so badly that we will give them whatever it is they want, this time. And sometimes? People will do that horrible thing to us, to their own mothers, for a measly $25 bucks. It takes a really long time to see that, though. We love them too much. One of us posted something about a mother's heart being a beautiful thing. That is true. But an addict's heart is a far from beautiful thing. Cedar [/QUOTE]
