[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 687004, member: 18516"] Betrayal by ones own child is something I would not wish on anyone. My son has shattered my heart and trust in him too many times. The truth is, they only get away with it because we allow them to get away with it. I don't want to be anyone's hero. As for turning the other way or begging for forgiveness will only reinforce a d_c's unacceptable behavior. Instead they need to be held accountable for their actions. If we as parents have done our best to raise our children then that should be sufficient. We do not owe them anything. I think a big part of the problem with many of our d_c's is that they feel "entitled" and it's worse if they feel they have been wronged in any way. I am so sorry for the heartache you are experiencing. I know it all too well. Once I stopped allowing my son to hold my emotions hostage, it freed me. I was able to detach and move on with my life. Do your best to focus on you. Be good to yourself. [/QUOTE]
