[QUOTE="Snow White, post: 703798, member: 355"] SWOT, you are always here to lend an ear/shoulder, give hugs and offer sage advice. You always seem to have the right answers and yet you struggle just as much as we do. Never feel you can't vent to us. You are so valued here! I'm sorry that your son continues to try and take, take, take from you but doesn't offer anything back to you. It is heartbreaking. Good for you to start limiting your interaction. No interaction = no negativity for you. Nothing is being gained in your conversations with him. It's a broken record, playing over and over again. Like the saying goes, "If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten." One of the two has to change - and that has to be YOU! You deserve to have peace. My daughter hasn't called since I cut short her ranting phone calls a couple of weeks ago. I am relieved in one way but yet anxious as to what might be coming around the corner. I love her so much but I can't continue this cyclical pattern of abuse. One day, I want to paint my "Grey Rock" another colour....one that makes ME happy! It will take a while to get that place but I won't give up trying! Hugs to you. [/QUOTE]
