[QUOTE="Lost in sadness, post: 724661, member: 21056"] SWOT, you really are a very wise person - thank you again for your thoughts and advice. I think I understand what you mean and I do try to do this. I also mess this up by continually telling him I 'am done' every time he does something wrong or against what we agreed. The trouble is, I always go back as he then manages to do something good. I want to pay his rent so I can sleep at night knowing he will not be out in the cold but I know every time we do this, we are only really encouraging him to do nothing himself to change his life. The fact he has obtained pay day loans tells me he probably thinks he can not ask us again which is good but worries me to death about the mess he is getting in to. Christmas coming makes things really hard. My husband is adamant he will not ruin it for everyone and I know he will not want to speak to my son which is a sure thing to being trouble ahead! I will take your advice on the amount of times we have contact because it is dominating my life. Thank you SWOT! xx [/QUOTE]
