[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 746686, member: 15801"] Copa (I cant figure out how to easily quote with my ipad).... I am not sure why this is true but I sure tried the tough love road when we first kicked him out....and things only got worse, much worse with him. That is not to say that I would not stop supporting him in the future because as I have said if he stops doing anything to help himself I will..... but I am also convinced that he needs to know we continue to love him and will help him when he needs it. I also do believe he does want to be fully self supporting one day..... he has felt best about himself when he has been working and mostly self supporting. He does like working and being productive. I do think adoption issues play a big part in his issues. He has a lot of anger at his birth mother for what I think he sees as his genetic wiring....,. She should have known she was handing him some genes that would make life harder for him. I dont buy that.... but I think that is how he feels. His personality..... He is an interesting mix. He is a good looking guy. He can be very charming and personable. He is more introverted than he first comes across.... and when he is depressed he tends to isolate himself. He has a good sense of humor which is a bit quirky. He is quick to anger but also pretty quick to get over it. He feels things deeply but has learned to hide his feelings. He is impulsive which as a kid got him into trouble a lot. He is compassionate....but tends to hide that under a tough exterier. TL [/QUOTE]
