[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 499321"] Oh Sig I am sorry too. He definitely doesn't hate you... that is a manipulative tactic to try and get his way!!! Stand firm, stand strong, and fake it til you make it. I remember when my difficult child told me that I would never ever see any of my grandchildren (even though he doesn't have kids at this moment in time). I remember saying to him, you can hate me all you want but I still love you. It is so painful to have your child that you have loved with all your heart talk to you like this.... but it just shows how low he has sunk and you need to let him sit in the abyss he is in. For now. Its possible he just doesn't think it is your business... but I think there is a good chance he has not been going to school. His desperate attempt to force you to give him the CD in cash is not a good sign. He wants that money for something and it isn't school. You gave him an excellent offer and he didn't take it, that says something. You have been a wonderful mother to him and right now he does not appreciate that but I think when he gets sober and his life together he will appreciate you again... it is going to take some time and waiting on your part. That is incredibly hard I know. Let him complain to the police or whoever about your not giving him the CD. I doubt he will get very far. If he does then just tell them your worries....worst case you have to give him the CD... best case they tell him he has to back off. Hugs, TL [/QUOTE]
