[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 629943, member: 1550"] I believe you have to let your son go and see what happens as well. As you just found out, he is good at talking strangers (or people who are not THAT close to him) into doing things for him. Most of our difficult children are very good at getting sympathy, especially from those who never lived through this, can't imagine it, a nd think that all they need it (fill in your own blank) love, God, understanding, a helping hand...as if we haven't done all we can. '' My son once got his friend's mother to feel sorry for him. He had chosen to leave the house and was warned that if he did he couldn't come back so he was homeless at the time. This mom called me up to yell at me and ask me what kind of person I was to let me son be homeless. I never did hear the reasons, but three weeks later he was homeless again. She had thrown him out. Most people don't know how good our adult kids are at eliciting sympathy and pretending that their own families don't care about them. But if they step up to help, they soon learn the truth. Expect this ex girlfriend's mom to do the same unless she has fallen in love with him and is sleeping with him. Weirder stuff has happened with our difficult children. [/QUOTE]
