[QUOTE="GStorm, post: 722796, member: 22414"] Please don't give in! My son is 32 and I am on the verge of him moving out. He is only staying a few days after he got discharged from the hospital AND evicted from his apartment while he was in the hospital. I am 60 and can imagine me doing the same thing you are doing in 10 years. Not going to happen!!! I love my son dearly, but he has lied, cheated, stolen, & kept secret too much and it is totally unacceptable to me. When he leaves on Wednesday, November 8th to go be with his dad, I will never give him another red cent. He got out of the hospital last Saturday. I am allowing him to stay with me until Nov. 8th. Why? I cannot truly answer that, except to help this extra bit while he is in transition. But I am making a promise, once he leaves on Nov. 8th, I will not be fooled again....No, No!!! I am so mad about even making this decision, as I really should have sent him onto the shelter. I was not that strong. But I am getting stronger everyday and this has given me an opportunity to see my son's true colors. So maybe that is what God had in mind. I have increased my self-care by going to a dietitian (having lost 12 lbs. already), attending church, walkkng, singing, getting my hair done, etc. So, you my new friend, have a right to say no to enabling and YES to yourself, just as I am starting to do. I am not doing it perfectly, but I am not going to beat myself up about it. Keep posting & praying & I will do the same. Take care of YOU BECAUSE YOU DESERVE IT. Take care if yourself, Gail✨ [/QUOTE]
