[QUOTE="jeanne in CA, post: 628627, member: 18036"] Thank you, Cedar. Tiredof33- I simply cannot imagine the nightmare of dealing with drug addiction and your child, especially when time after time your hope and faith that "this time will be different." Given that he was apparently doing better, no wonder up until six months ago you were still falling for his stories. I agree with you that at 36, he is on his own to chart his own course with you doing nothing but cheering from the distant sidelines. God bless him, I hope he gets it together at some point. However, the lack of remorse is not a good sign. I have no illusions that our daughter's lack of remorse will ever really change and I have slowly come to accept that. I accepted it because I have seen during this past 14 months of discovery I have come to believe that if she were even remotely capable of feeling guilt or remorse she couldn't have done what she has done. I have to say that is easier than having her begging for forgiveness and lying through her teeth. I am going to be away for a couple of days and it is probably a good thing. It has been a trying week. For starters, the attorneys who said they would help us take on the banks when I met with them several months ago have just informed me that our case is way too big for them. They said it is the biggest case they had ever seen and they simply do not have the resources to handle it. I told them the case hadn't grown since I first met with them so why didn't they tell me that before! That is the second failure to get someone to represent us in what they all said was a solid case for fiduciary neglect. I need to clear my head a bit to decide next steps. Yesterday we received notice in the mail from the IRS that they are auditing our tax returns as a result of the "casualty losses" we reported from all the identity theft. Just what everyone needs, an IRS audit. I had written them a letter of explanation detailing what had happened and sent in the police reports, detectives contact information etc. Apparently that was not enough because they want a live meeting. That means that I get to personally pour out our ugly story to federal bureaucrats. Yippee. If I drank, I'd be drunk all the time! [/QUOTE]
