[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 621802, member: 17461"] I believe this is true, Child. This is my practice regarding our son. For some time before the current open hostility, I had been telling him all the positive things, telling him there would be no more money, telling him he did not need us, that he was more than capable of creating his life to be whatever he wanted it to be. The last time he asked for money, husband gave it to him, but told him there would be no more. It was shortly after that when difficult child son became so verbally abusive on FB that even I could not ignore or excuse it. He continues to be very angry. But, though he did accuse us of being the coldest, most uncaring ex-family he has ever gotten wind of...he has not asked for money since early January. I miss him...but the person masquerading as my son is not the son I miss. I wholeheartedly agree that "no" can mean I love you more honestly, with less resentment and to better purpose than the sweetest (initiative destroying, self comforting, enabling) yes. I feel like this is my son's last chance. He has to make it. I wish I had done this sooner. Nothing, nothing else worked. Cedar [/QUOTE]
