[QUOTE="seek, post: 716993, member: 22002"] [B]I understand how you think that "maybe this time" your help will actually help, but maybe also view "one last time" the same way an alcoholic says they'll have "just one" drink . . . it's kind of the same thing . . . if you are weakening, get some support, do something nice for yourself, remind yourself why you put up the boundaries, remind yourself how old your son is and that he is an adult and should be completely responsible for himself - and that if he makes bad choices, HE will have to suffer consequences, not you! If you are on a fixed income, I view his taking money from you as "elder abuse." You NEED your own money - take care of yourself! Survival of the fittest - sounds brutal, but focus on you. He "should" be giving you money, or paying you back, if anything![/B] [/QUOTE]
