[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 645927, member: 17542"] The victim mentality is a continuing indication of how sick they are. And it's total bs---trying to get our sympathy and help because it has worked so often with us in the past. Drug addicts, alcoholics, untreated mental illness---this is a red flag that they are waving, warning us that what follows won't be pretty. Over time, my son's credibility was less than zero. I would believe anybody before I believed him, about everything. I cried about that, in my deep grief, because I realized that maybe, he would tell me the truth sometimes, and I wouldn't even know it. But it is what it is. They make their own bed and they teach us by their actions, choices and decisions. Drama, chaos and trouble surround them. When they walk into the room, nearly 100 percent of the time, destruction of some sort follows. Do your own gut check, and let that be your guide. That is where the real truth resides. We want to rationalize it all so we can trust and believe in them again, just one. more. chance...but our own gut knows the truth. Once the victimhood stops, it is like another clear bell ringing. Progress. Hang in there, and trust your own instincts. [/QUOTE]
