[QUOTE="Lost in sadness, post: 724658, member: 21056"] Thank you for such a beautiful heartfelt post. I am so sorry you have been going through this for so long, I just don't know how you do it! You are right he does choose his path. Its as if he just believes he can have and have and have without giving back. He appears to feel so shame or remorse, just a massive sense of entitlement. When I mentioned the rent he had not paid us back, his reply was 'its not as if you can't afford it'! Its not about the money, its the principal but he does not seem to get that. How have we raised such a person! Yes, i do a lot of it for me, so I feel better. Like you, if I knew he was warm and ok, it would be enough. The trouble is, I tell him 'i am done' so often that the words are pointless. My son makes no effort to be 'clean' and does not hide the fact he enjoys smoking weed. How much I have no idea. A lot. I feel your pain in how it would have felt to see your son homeless, it must have taken great strength. It is just all such a waste of life. I don't understand it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your reply. I could give you a hug xxx [/QUOTE]
