[QUOTE="Acacia, post: 750094, member: 19832"] I am in a similar situation although addiction is involved with my 33-year-old difficult son. Like you I cannot bear to have him in my home because it would destroy my health. Despite that, the emotional anguish is tough. I have thrown good money after bad so many times. I always say it is the last time. I agree with everything Busy says. My son needs to learn to make it on his own but it is as much my struggle to live with saying no and holding my boundaries. I am sure FOG is at work with your son as well as mine - that fear obligation and guilt. Your son sounds as good at manipulating your emotions as mine manipulates me. Keep posting, it helps. [/QUOTE]
