[QUOTE="Lil, post: 705573, member: 17309"] It is exhausting. I KNOW that our problems with our son are in many ways minor compared with what some of you are going thru or have gone thru. Our son doesn't threaten our lives, call us names, behave violently (against anything living at least), he isn't on heroin or attempting suicide or in prison. But when these things happen - it's such a drain. I truly don't know how you others do it. I spent 10 1/2 hours at the office yesterday and did 1 hours worth of work. I was so distracted and stressed I accomplished nothing. He just...makes me so tired. He goes on and on about how awful things are and says he wants to hurt himself (bang his head into the wall and knock his brains out, that sort of thing), he threatens to commit a crime to get off the street or do something illegal for money. He goes on about how he hates himself and what a terrible person he is and I KNOW IT'S MANIPULATION. Knowing doesn't keep it from working. If that makes me weak then I guess I'm weak where he's concerned. So ... we threw money at him to make it go away. :( Wrong thing to do? Maybe. But I slept like a log last night; better than I have in days. [/QUOTE]
