[QUOTE="Chailya, post: 356942"] Your definately not alone in this boat Jody. I could have written the very same as you have expressed, and it is sad indeed. I often cry and think to myself...just once God..I'd like to see my real son and know him. It is if there has never been any real emotional bondage to me from him. At best..I'm just a person that is here to feed him, and give him what he wants, and if that doesn't happen..he has no need for me. Everything is a battle. Always snide/rude comments (most of which he's smart enough to say under his breath). No appreciation for anything given to him or done on his behalf. He steals, lies constantly, literally has to be told to do everything to the point that I struggle everyday to show some sort of loving act or offer words of praise/encouragement. Hard to do when it just seems to fall on deaf ears. I will admit that sometimes I do fall from grace and I do verbally lash back. It isn't healthy nor productive I know..but I to am human and can only take so much. I've learned to get in my positive act or words and then self distance to keep my sanity as long as possible. It's genuine from the heart still but has to be quick or I am left feeling it was all for not. Always seems it is anyways but whatever I can do to not feel that myself is a plus I guess. Hang in there...((Hugs)) [/QUOTE]
