[QUOTE="JulieAnn, post: 658977, member: 19071"] Hi MtDenise, I understand. They lie so much, I really think they begin to believe what they're saying. That they're so convincing to the 'unsuspecting'. It is amazing to me (yes, still) that they will lie and steal from 'friends' and relatives. But to them, they're not friends or relatives, just another vehicle to get what they want. The friends/Us are there to be used. I don't know if my son is still 'in there' somewhere but I'm done trying to drag it back to the surface. If I don't hear from Difficult Child, that means he's lying/stealing to get by and doesn't need me until the most recent bridges are burned. He called today in fact, funnily enough. He had been in detox for a week and he's now in a halfway house. Lie, lie, lie. Oh, and since he's there - trying to get better, could I possibly pay his cell bill? Lol. I declined of course. I ended the conversation after he told me that because of me, he would have to do something 'bad' to get his cell phone back on and probably get thrown out of the shelter. Yeah, that's my fault. Except for the fact that his entire story is a fabrication. I went to my first Al-Anon meeting tonight. Didn't say a word. Didn't have to - but it helped so much. Difficult Child has been invaluable. I cannot thank the people here enough. I can only wish that he ends up in jail. At least he'd have a roof, no drugs and 3 meals. You sound strong. You sound like you have a handle on this. You're a decade ahead of me. Can't wait to get there. On my way to detachment. [/QUOTE]
