[QUOTE="JayPee, post: 755046, member: 23405"] Acacia, My heart goes out to you. My oldest son, almost 31 has always been verbally abusive towards me when I don't give him what he wants. I have not spoken to him since August and continually turn him over to God. I thought time was healing him and making him realize that he can't treat me this way and expect me to help him financially. At the end of December he got a voicemail through because my block expired under my plan and I wasn't aware. It was the same ol' same ol'. Telling me he's got registration due in January, license renewal, car problems etc. All this in a yelling, demeaning manner and then wait for it...yup tells me he's sure I won't help him because I'm too much of a b*%*%. Really? Who does that? Who says that and thinks someone will still reach out to help them? I guess to answer that, he thinks I will, because I have in the past. So many times I cannot count. Only by the grace of God have I had the strength to not cave to his demands, no matter how mean, nasty or desperate he is. Even with all that my heart still hurts for his horrible situation but I try to not dwell on his misery. I have had to replace my focus of dwelling on him to thoughts of prayer and uplifting for him, my other son and myself. I've had a similar situation where my youngest son, living in his car was horribly sick. I wanted to make him better but I had to just express my verbal compassion for his sorry situation and suggest he go to the ER. There is no way I could have either of my sons come back to live with me. The stress that the thought of that causes me usually gets me back on the path to right thinking. I wish healing in your situation as I do for all. [/QUOTE]
