[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 57913, member: 3647"] Hi and welcome, Your quote is what I am going to use to give my advice. Your biggest problem is to NOT do ANYTHING that you can't do anything about. You are enabling your son. You need to stop. Stop paying for his food and rent and car (and PHONE!! $1,000 for phone calls, why in the world are you paying that?). He is a big boy. Let him do it. If he wants to go on a trip to Paris, let HIM earn the money to go. If he cannot make enough money to go, well, then I guess he does not go. It is not up to you to send your son to Europe because he wants to. He is treating you poorly because you are allowing him to treat you poorly. Put a stop to his cash flow. If you keep doing for him, he will NEVER learn to do for himself. DO NOT pay for his trip. It is tough to stop doing something that you have been doing all along, but once you make a decision to do it, you will see that it is a simple solution to your problem. Again, welcome to the board. Hugs and prayers your way. [/QUOTE]
