[QUOTE="fedupmum2, post: 534350, member: 14745"] I hear you. My son is 27. I have been saying that I am going to do this and going to do that yet I have procrastinated. My 'kids'...all 3, will use the suicidal talk (I truly believe this) when they know they have pushed the envelope. I am a recovering addict and it is a great possibility that they may die. I have reached a point where I will if I do not step away. I did not stop until I was ready and in my selfishness I did not give consideration to others. I must say that I do not understand this generation of 'entitled' children...steal you blind then cry suicide, lie until they are caught with the hand in the cookie jar before admitting the truth. The begging, the pleading, the manipulation, the threatening, & complete lack of regard for the ones who love them. It is futile. I gave the last year to this chaotic drama so that in the end I did not have to feel guilty about not being home much and giving my time to strangers and meetings for the last 10 years. I am done. I have read a few posts today and am impressed with the way parents have utilized 'tough love'. Now I am ready and willing to take that action. I find it easier to be accountable...even if it is with strangers. So, hello!!! A truly good book teaches me better than to read it. I must soon lay it down, and commence living on its hint. What I began by reading, I must finish by acting. [URL="http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/h/henry_david_thoreau.html"]Henry David Thoreau[/URL] [/QUOTE]
