[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 619986, member: 17461"] I would not shred the email. I would print it, and keep it, in an envelope marked "difficult child". After a time of healing, if you go back and read through it again, the manipulation, the inappropriateness of his blaming and demands, and the rude, hectoring attitude he takes toward all of you will seem shockingly wrong. As you come to realize the similarities between the things your son does and says and the difficult child kids (adult or not) here on the site, you will be able to break free of that horrible, dark place where you think you have to fix something you broke. Is drug use a part of this picture? That is what it turned out to be with our son. We knew he used something recreationally, but thought the gist of the problem was bad parenting. It took the longest time for me to get how big the drug piece was. I learned it through reading postings, here. Drug use causes such similar behaviors and attitudes. It must be a hard thing to beat. It seems to me that my son's anger has to do with the addiction, and the failure it caused, and with so much loss. I think they get so angry at us because we can't fix it. A hard thing for him, too.
