[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 677682, member: 18516"] I am glad you did not retreat to your room. Your son is showing zero respect or appreciation for you letting him stay. He is acting as if it's [I]his [/I]house. It was a very loving thing to let him stay but he did not reciprocate with love. Copa, I probably would have responded the same way. Even after all the years my son has not been around me, I don't think I could handle him being in my home as I know he would behave much like your son did. The last time my son was in my home was about 7 years ago, he went into my bedroom without asking. When I went in there he was looking under my bed (not sure what for) when I asked him what he was doing he said he just wanted to see what kind of bed we had??? Who does that!! He also went to the fridge and just helped himself. You know, when I would go visit my parents I would always ask before just helping myself. Oh boy does this sound like something my son would say. And this is how it is with a Difficult Child. It's like a bank account for our emotional health. We do our best to take care of ourselves and we deposit into our "emotional bank account" as we go about our life there are times when withdraws will be made but it's ok because we make regular deposits. When it comes to dealing with our d_cs we are constantly overdrawn and the overdraft charges keep racking up and before we know it we can be emotionally bankrupt. I'm glad that you know you need to take care of yourself. Yup, just like the bank account. You deserve to live in your home without any chaos. I hope you are having a better day today. :staystrong: [/QUOTE]
