[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 625207, member: 17542"] How can we like anyone Echo who lies and steals and hurts themselves and other people? Who is completely self absorbed, a user and discounts the feelings of others? Who does not give, just takes and takes? Who manipulates, who wants no responsibility even for himself? Who follows no rules and either blames everybody else for what goes wrong or is a helpless victim? This is unlike able behavior. I do not like my son either. And I get snappy too. I do not want to be around this type of person at all. I only want to see him for very small amounts of time. Even from a distance would be okay. My love is tired Echo. It is still there but there is evidently a limit on tolerance even with my own children when the ugliness never ends. Loving somebody who behaves like my difficult child is behaving right now is possible at a distance. I can do it much much better there. I don't think there is any guilt to be had with this attitude. This is real. This is the truth. There will be guilt if I lash out right now with my thoughts and feelings as I will be wrong if I do that. I know that and so I am waiting on my feelings to subside. Feelings aren't facts I am taught in alanon. I need to leave him alone while I am I active feeling mode and work out my anger elsewhere. I am only human and I have limits. He has pushed me to the end of those right now. [/QUOTE]
