[QUOTE="Triedntrue, post: 744517, member: 21499"] Hi and welcome. All of us have struggled with this kind of issue with our adult children. What worked with mine was if he gets nasty on the phone or text i tell him i will not let him talk to me like that and he is blocked. Then i block him for up to a week. Things have been much better. I still struggle with issues like giving him food but am getting better. I used to help with rent and bills no more. I realized his brothers both younger were able to handle their own lives very successfully and i was keeping him from doing the same. One thing i have noticed is that when he does do it himself he is proud of himself. Are all his problems solved? No!!! Have i learned to totally allow him to survive on his own. No!!!. But i have come a long way. Prayers to you. [/QUOTE]
