[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 646967, member: 18516"] Those are not fun phone calls to get. I've had my share too. My difficult child is 33 and still does not get it. I've been dealing with mine since he was 14. You did a great job in dealing with him when he called. Please don't buy into his rant. His situation is not your fault, he caused it by his own poor choices. Our difficult child's use our love for them as blackmail. They try to make us feel guilty in hopes that we will give them money, bail them out, pay their rent, buy them food, etc............... When in reality these are things they should be doing for themselves. It's just so much easier for them to blame us, the parents than to admit they have screwed up. They want to believe they are smarter than us. There is not rhyme or reason as to why and how our children get their lives so off track. You will drive yourself crazy trying to figure it out. Know that you are not alone. There are many here that have been through it. Hang in there!!! [/QUOTE]
