[QUOTE="Blindsided, post: 750679, member: 23811"] You describe my daughter, who is suffering liver damage from her alcoholism. Substance abuse is common with personality disorders. I finally stopped trying to rescue her, because it is futal. I have heard these pleas. I gave thousands of dollars trying to change it for her, none if it worked. She is now 40. All I did was allow her to continue her behaviors. The sooner you stop, the better chance your son will realize you mean it. I am so sorry you are still having to navigate this. My children's dad (divorced) died at 55 from sudden cardiac arrest. My daughter never recovered. He was a loser, took money from my daughter, who used to have a great work ethic and now refuses to work and lives wherever she can find, not in same state. I remind myself every day that my daughter has a difficult life because of her choices, not mine. These are hard times we go through. I only know the money manipulation didnt stop until I said no more. I also let her know that we are here when she chooses to get help and makes better choices. I havent seen her in 3 years. I set clear boundaries. Sending you thoughts of strength and resolve to make the right choices for you. [/QUOTE]
