[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 682436, member: 15032"] Welcome changes; DON'T feel bad or like you have turned your back on him!! With the help from people on this forum my husband and I got strong and stood our ground for our 20 year old Difficult Child and I'm so glad we did!! This isn't my quote and I can't take credit for it but "nothing changes if nothing changes". I kept repeating that to myself every time I felt weak or guilty. You have to change how you handle him. Quit bailing him out and rescuing him. It doesn't mean that you don't love him. It means that he is a grown man and has to help himself. My son is only 20 but thankfully I found this forum so I could help myself. I don't want to enable him any longer. I want him to grow into the man that God intended him to be so I had to step aside.
