[QUOTE="in a daze, post: 636494, member: 15832"] Yes, Cedar, they want what they want, and right now. They are very self absorbed. We just got back from a therapy session with difficult child. He has been campaigning to move out of his sober living place. He was counseled to exercise coping skills while we, the therapist, and caseworker all brainstorm to figure out the best possible situation. He had been having some difficulty with some of the residents, who have been rowdy and disruptive lately. Then he said to my husband, "That's all you think about. Money." I said, "Now you're making me really mad!" We pay for his bus card, and now his rent as Social Security found some bonds taken out by elderly grandparents the existence of which we did not know about and which have now been s pent down for his rent. I think he is subtly trying to manipulate us with his complaints of ongoing unhappiness. As your son is doing with his personal attacks, trying to guilt you into selling him the house (at a special price, I'm sure). I hope you feel better soon, Cedar. Sending hugs and good wishes your way... [/QUOTE]
