[QUOTE="Natsom, post: 662550, member: 19329"] The way your son is treating you isn't right. He is being selfish and disrespectful. I know this isn't how you raised him. How are his other relationships? Does he struggle? I agree with SWOT that it's time to pull back. Why continue doing things that aren't appreciated? Something has to change, and we all know you're the only one who can make that happen. You have no control over your son. On the lighter side - I was talking with my future son-in-law a couple of weeks ago. He is a remarkable 30 yr old who has fought for our country and is now in law enforcement. He had a difficult time with substance abuse in the past, and has been clean and sober for three years. He met my daughter in re-hab (I know, but this one is working), and the two of them are an amazing team. Anyway, he has been solid support for me in dealing with my Difficult Child. You know what he said to me? He said, "I'm going to be the son who appreciates you, I'm so sorry you have to go through this." Wow. Touched me. My point here is that there are good young people around. It's just kind of hard to find them in a time when so many feel entitled. We thought we were right to give our children all we could, expecting that it would be appreciated. Who would have guessed that all of our good intentions would turn around to "bite" us? [/QUOTE]
