[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 758465, member: 23706"] Hi. I am so sorry that you have had such a hard time and I am sorry about your son. I have a daughter a lot like your son and we made a lot of mistakes with her. One of them o was helping her too much. We did not want her to be homeless do we bought shelter, cars, gave money etc. She destroyed even the house we paid for and would not get a job to pay utilities so we sold the house and bought her a small mobile home. She and her crazy husband (they are both violent) got thrown out of the park and they had destroyed that too. So we put deposits down on apartments and they kept getting evicted and wouldn't work or pay utilities. Meanwhile our retirement money had been gutted. We got into Al Anon and therapy. Kay was a constant pot smoker too. And still never worked. By.now she was 30 and very entitled. And scary. The help we got made us able to quit enabling her and to live a good life in spite of her not living a good life. We stopped helping her. Our "help" had NOT helped her. I think you are doing plenty for a kid who puts his hands on you, is rude, and won't work. I think you need to worry more about YOU and let HIM figure things out. Please don't wait for ten years to get help for YOU. Al Anon and Nar Anon are really good. Therapy is also helpful. We were feeling guilty and almost gave her all our money. And it hurt her. And hurt us. Please get help. Prayers and hugs. [/QUOTE]
