[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 637334, member: 1550"] Hi there. I want to congratulate you on some very hard decisions you made that will ultimately probably keep drama and GFGness out of your life. HIGH FIVE! Is that enough encouragement? difficult children only contact people when they want something, then, if not given what they ask for, they characteristically say the most hurtful thing they can, rather than the truth. The truth is your difficult child has never been on his own and isn't now. He has no job, probably no real home of his own, no job...he is living by selling other people's things or begging family and probably friends for money. This is, from what I read here, typical difficult child behavior. There is this thing called W.O.R.K. and they don't want to do it or they are too wasted to work and they don't want to do the hard job it is to quit using drugs. Whatever the reason is, we don't help them when we empower their self-destruction. We are adding to it when we make it easy for them to live the way they do. I think you took some brave steps and I do know how hard it is and how it hurts, but it does get easier with time. Your daughter has to do what she is going to do. Like your son, you can not control her reaction to her brother. You can make suggestions, but she needs to do it her way. In time, she too will probably realize that telling him off does not do any good because he has no interest or caring of her opinion. But let her realize this on her own. What does your difficult child need money for? He needs to drive to get to the next party and do drugs? Do not feel bad about what you did or what he said. He will say anything to hurt you if you don't do what he wants you to do. by the way, congrats on not paying his cell phone bill anymore!!! Pick up that little black dog and hug him. I find lots of comfort in hugging my little doggies. Then tell yourself that you took a very big step tonight and take a nice bubblebath with a book...do something perfectly meaningless but fun :) We are with you, holding your hand. You can do this.
