[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 544249, member: 1514"] Oh hun, I am so sorry. Sounds like he is being a real jerk right now. I can only imagine how bad it hurt when you found out about the computer. We went through stuff like that with Cory too. We learn during the bad years that we simply wouldnt give him anything that could be sold or traded. That meant mostly we got him clothes from Goodwill as gifts. Sad huh? Well, if you dont "lose" dvd players and leather jackets then maybe we wouldnt be so mean. Seriously, I have been there too. It has been years since I have given him anything nice. I think 2 years ago he asked me for a set of dishes...lol. I gave him a set that cost $29 bucks for Xmas. He was thrilled. He still has them. But he is now 26. I hope so badly that for most of our kids that they can hang on until the mid twenties when their frontal lobes finally finish growing and we see where they truly are. I know it made a huge difference in me, and it has made a HUGE difference in Cory. Who both of us were at 18 are totally different people than who are/were at 25 and who I am 50. And who I hope Cory is at 50. I hope Cory is even better than me at 50! One can hope...lol. It isnt a guarantee but 18 isnt the mark of being an adult. Their brains are still growing and they are still making such stupid decisions. You just need to keep yourself safe from his actions and hope that he comes out the other end intact. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
