[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 744348, member: 18516"] Oh the restraint that must have taken. I would have said it, or something to the effect of "you bring all the suffering on yourself". You are standing strong and firm in your boundaries. I'm glad you can see through his attempt to guilt you into helping him. None of us are perfect parents, there is no such thing. We have all made mistakes and done things we wish we could have done differently. We have done the very best we could and that's enough. For our adult children to try and blame us for their poor choices is beyond sad. I remember a few years back my son went on one of his "rants" about how I screwed up his life. My response to him was "Sorry son, I'm just not that powerful. You are an adult and have been making poor life choices for yourself for years without any input from me" His response was F YOU and hung up. I'll admit, I chuckled because I knew I had hit a nerve. You are doing great Laura!! Stay steady the course. [/QUOTE]
