[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 175336, member: 4040"] Hearing the phrase "tough love" reminds me of Useless Boy's mother, many years ago. Her idea of "tough love" was not letting him live in their home, but...she paid his rent, gave him food money, gas money, paid the power bill, whatever else he needed. Hindsight is 20/20...I should have run screaming way back then. Fast forward 20 years...OMG...has it really been that long? He lives in a house his mother owns, she pays the power bill, gave him a truck, gives him gas money, food money, whatever else he needs, AND pays child support and other KT-related expenses. He's almost 50 years old. I am determined I will not enable Miss KT the way her grandmother has enabled Useless Boy. [/QUOTE]
