[QUOTE="Lost in sadness, post: 724662, member: 21056"] Oh bless you for this message! Our stories are so similar. I agree with you about them being delusional, they seem to have a sense of entitlement - the world owes them!! I am not sure I can still be doing this when he gets to 22, we have already had 2+ years so i need to act now. For me, it is the cold, I simply cannot have him homeless. I know I push and push and threaten in the hope he sorts himself so I do not have to jump in and save him. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. The fact he has got a pay day loan says he thinks we won't help him. He appears to have no regard for what the consequences might be when he makes decisions. He only seems to think of the moment. Instant gratification. I am so pleased you have found a way to enjoy your life also, I am sure it is still so hard. I am going to take your and SWOTs advice on only taking calls when I feel like it and not being so available for him. It feels hard as he is young but he can manage to do all the bad stuff he does so I am sure he will cope. Hugs to you! xx [/QUOTE]
