[QUOTE="Lil, post: 672783, member: 17309"] Because then it isn't his fault. Our son has not tried to really place blame on me or his dad, though he will do the "I'm going to be on the street because no one will help me" bit. But the rest of the world? Oh yes. Nothing that goes wrong in his life is ever his fault. His other family members kicked him out? They were wrong and unreasonable. He gets fired or quits a job? The manager hated him and treated him badly. He doesn't pay his utility bill? He had a bunch of mooching friends who ran the bill up and wouldn't give him the money for it. He got arrested for shoplifting? The other guy he was with did the actual stealing...not him. Mine is now working. Has grown up the tiniest bit it seems and is at least saying that he understands that you have to pay the bills and buy food for yourself first in order to survive, leaving the "toys" for when you have extra to spend. I'm back to having hope...and hoping my hope isn't misplaced. [/QUOTE]
