[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 677245, member: 4152"] I hate to say it, but is there a chance your son has sociopathic tendencies? Whatever the case may be, I think it's good that you are doing your best to stay detached and saying what you mean and mean what you say. Our situation isn't as severe, because our daughter shows appreciation. But she has great trouble following rules and her social skills are abysmal. So jobs are non existent and I'm losing hope for any (even the most part time). When she is hungry (no cause and effect reasoning...no ability, it seems anyway, to plan ahead) she goes to the food bank. When that is not available to her, we give her our leftovers and I sometimes go to the store and get the buy one get one free deals and give her my "free" item. She recognizes that we won't cater to her. She seems to have improved a teeny tiny bit. It doesn't happen nearly as much as in the past. And staying at our home is reserved for extreme emergencies and for like a day or two at most. Bottom line, protect your heart and soul. Your health, relationships, happiness and pocketbook. This stuff is so sad and draining. But you are strong. Blessings. [/QUOTE]
