[QUOTE="bluebell, post: 738742, member: 16761"] Wow, that's a hard read copa and tough. That we taught them manipulation. But what came first the chicken or the egg? My son has always used his education as a power struggle since he knows it is so important to me. I have pulled the plug on that one yesterday when I dropped all of his classes for this fall. I just can't go thru that again. He uses it as an excuse to contact me since he has a lot of trouble with the practicality of the classes, getting logged on, finding assignments, etc. I was hoping if he took live classes (not online) then things would be easier but it seems everything is online these days. I'm sure he will throw this back in my face that I am a phony and a fraud, that education must mean very little to me. But it is his disdain for it that motivated that action. But I digress and hack this thread as well. Yes, copa, it seems our love affairs with our sons have grown toxic. Let's not forget the choices they made to bring this to bear. As if we could. And yes tough, our sons will continue the drug use until.... Tryingtobestrong is probably helping her son, as we all have done. But we must realize that we do this to make ourselves better after the first couple of chances. To limit the damage to them and to ourselves. And we must realize that it doesn't really accomplish that at all. [/QUOTE]
