[QUOTE="Beta, post: 746831, member: 22597"] Newstart, this is where my husband and I are at this time. Last week, we attempted to get $200 to our son as birthday/Christmas money instead of the $1,000 he asked for to buy some motorcycle. He is without a car now. Anyway, he wasn't able to get the money. I made the mistake of texting him a Bible verse, which triggered a torrent of abuse toward both of us. My husband finally told him, "You can forget about the $200." So now we are just waiting, letting him experience our absence from his life. It is so very hard but like you we cannot continue on the same path, in the same patterns. It is ruining our lives and our health. I have to re-read some of his abusive text messages sometimes just to keep my resolve and not deceive myself into thinking that "if I just try one more time...if I just say such and such...that it will make a difference. We have begged him to come and stay with us and to get out of Denver, but he refuses, telling me he "won't live in our dingy basement." I pray for him often and try not to picture what his circumstances look like. [/QUOTE]
