[QUOTE="LoveTempered, post: 762253, member: 28752"] Update: Girl's family has taken him in. I spoke truthfully to them about us not bailing him out and to her about his history of his not being self-supporting but relying on others to do the work for him. I am glad for my own conscience that I warned her about his ways. They have been with her family for a couple of weeks now. I just checked in with him. He is making excuses about not having a job and says the girl is working a lot. As a woman, I am heartbroken for her and all the other love-lorn he may leave in his wake. Just keep repeating to myself, "Not my monkey. Not my circus." Can people just be born like this? We worked hard for all the years we had him since adoption at 3.5yrs and I don't want to believe it made no difference. Sending our youngest to high school next year and needed to provide photos for the ceremony ending middle years. Looking through family photos is excruciating. We had so much hope and believed our love and care could overtake the other. Right now it just feels like he has outgrown using us and has moved on to the next "host." We don't regret adopting him but it would be great if loving him didn't hurt so much. Thanks for listening. :love_heart: [/QUOTE]
