[QUOTE="so ready to live, post: 704850, member: 20054"] Oh Albie, so sorry it's this hard (again). We are always baffled by our son's total belief that it's easier to ask, beg, manipulate, steal and even seek legitimate services over and over rather than work a day. So much energy spent to be still homeless. Someone on this forum once said that being homeless is a lot of work---apparently still better than getting up in the morning? If I had a dime for every time I said "I don't get it", we could have supported him for life. SS "grounding you" about going to Hawaii is so important. There are many times that either hubs or I forget all that's gone on. Have we blocked it? Is there just so much drama that our brains are overflowing in that area? When one of us can say "but wait, remember we paid this and he did that--we offered this and he didn't follow through", it's strengthening for our resolve. It seems from the outside that it might hurt yet again to remember, but for us it protects our hearts. No wonder you feel done with the game. Take time for you, take joy in your hubs and daughter. As someone who's been on this roller coaster for half our son's life, my engagement or lack thereof, has made no difference. How much life I have missed due to the pain of it all... Prayers. [/QUOTE]
