[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 582116, member: 59"] Your post tugged at my heartstrings because I have been there done that and experienced that awful feeling that you want to scoop him up and take him home and make it OK. I felt that way when difficult child was living with the druggie neighbor boy and she finally contacted me and told me she hated living there. She looked awful and she said she was depressed all the time and wanted to die. I wanted to just tell her to come home and the thought was that she would be so grateful to come back that everything would be better. I knew in my heart it wouldn't be any better but I so wanted it to be. He needs to grow up in a hurry. One way to show that is to respect girlfriend's aunt and her house. Typical young man, all they think about is sex. Well that got him into the trouble he's in so now he better learn how to switch gears and figure out how he is going to make this work. I have no answers because I am still trying to give my difficult child support while not enable her as she learns how to live independantly. What a shame these kids blow what they had and then find out they are miserable with what they got. There are still times that my heart hurts so badly because I know how difficult child is struggling and it didn't have to be that way. [/QUOTE]
