[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 756232, member: 17635"] [B]Before I found this site, I did so much of that, Beta.[/B] I would worry about so many situations and wonder if I seriously damaged his psyche. Much of it did not make much sense (just silly things - stuff that all kids go through). After I found CD and read and read and read, it became obvious how he was gas lighting his dad and me. Difficult Child was much, much loved and treated as such. Something changed in puberty and things headed steadily south. There seems no doubt mental illness/substance abuse are largely to blame, but Difficult Child would never agree to help. He has nothing to get help for; it's [B]us.[/B] Today he posted (with a fake FB name) on his younger brother's FB account about their "emotionally abusive parents". Youngest son (who is almost thirty, in grad school 2000 miles away from Difficult Child) blocked him, reported him to FB, and is taking a break from social media. It is difficult to watch his innocent siblings harassed. husband and I wonder if Difficult Child is using this tactic to try and draw us out. Possible. Very unfair. Again, this forum has been so wonderful for husband and me. Our faith in God and this forum have been monumental in getting us out of the FOG. It did not happen overnight and there are occasional rough spots, but it is way better than it was five years ago. [B]We did not cause this, we cannot control this, we cannot cure this.[/B] Apparently, that applies to obtaining hand sanitizer as well. :rolleyes: SS [/QUOTE]
