[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 641764, member: 1550"] I am sorry. Sorry that your son used such a cruel method to get your attention. When my son threatens suicide, I automatically hang up and call 911. Doesn't matter if I think he is serious or not...you never know. He has stopped threatening suicide. Think about how mean that trick was. It is sad to have to admit our children are not good people and are abusive to us, but you seem to have accepted it (as much as you can). If it helps, I totally support your decision. He not only refuses to grow up and live right, but considers your support giving him money, toys, a truck, etc. He does not want or care about your love or emotional support. To him your supporting him means just that...paying for everything he wants while he refuses to work, take care of his kids and use drugs. I hope you have a very peaceful holiday. Once we start making sure our holidays are filled only with non-toxic people, they because true holidays, not Stress Days from Hades. Enjoy your freedom. If he calls again and starts in, you can just say what I say to my son: "You will always have my love a nd emotional support. But you are capable and smart and can find ways to make your own money and we can't support your family anymore." If he gets abusive, which he probably will, I would simply and softly hang up. It serves no purpose to give them a platform to abuse us. It isn't good for us or for them to allow it. Listening to them rant validates their magical thinking and twisted reality. [/QUOTE]
