[QUOTE="Lil, post: 645473, member: 17309"] I agree. He has always seemed to feel entitled. It's as though we are responsible for making him happy. He's truly never been a "happy" person. I want him to be. I've told him I want him to be happy. But I've also told him that the only one who can make him happy is HIM. But really, that seems to mean nothing to him. He doesn't understand it. I don't think he [I]knows[/I] how to be a happy, or even contented, person and thinks "things" or substances will do the trick. His argument for getting high has been, "I just want to feel happy, just for a little while." He has said those exact words. It's one reason why we've tried to get him in counseling...which he blew off. I think his idea of how a normal human being should "feel" is skewed. He was on Prozac for a while...he wouldn't take it. He said it made him feel nothing and being miserable was better than being numb. He clearly has problems. I just don't know what to do or suggest. No suggestion or advice has ever been taken by him. At best it's ignored. At worse it's treated with contempt. Jabber will get the police report tonight...so I guess we'll see then. [/QUOTE]
