[QUOTE="LMW73, post: 665414, member: 18347"] I am so grateful for your post at a time when I am in exactly the same frame of mind as you . My son consistently choses to self destruct/play the victim and blame everyone else (mostly me) for his actions and behaviour. It has taken me a long time to realise that he doesn't want to change and until he really does, there is nothing else I can to support him. I, like you, have my weak moments, especially when I see all the photos around the house of the beautiful, happy little boy that I used to know. Accepting that he is no longer that boy took so long but finally I am there. I am now choosing to spend my energy on those that love me and also choosing to look after myself too. The days, night of endless worry, crying and sheer desperation have resulted in not one bit of difference to his attitude or behaviour. I will always love my son and hope that one day he will come back to me but learning to understand that his choices are his own as are mine has been a revelation. Thank you once again. I come to this forum often and knowing I am not alone is the biggest help. My love to you all :) [/QUOTE]
