(4,566 posts)He will not take medication, cause it slows him down. He blames me for him being homeless. It's his choice. He's a worker, thank goodness. Just likes to spend his money on drones, drugs, whatever, instead of rent. His father left him $20,000 cash when he died in 2020. My son did nothing useful with it, aside from buying a used motorcycle for cheap. He could have fixed his teeth, gotten a used car, and/or rented himself a room for months or a year.
He has threatened my life, and my daughter's, in the past. We are the ones who always helped him. I always tried to blow it off, let him vent, laugh, cause he's very funny when he wants to be. Still abusive. I'm done. I know how he's doing through friends of my daughter. I pray for the best for him. I love him dearly.
Funny how you can have 2 kids and they can be so different. One thinks I'm wonderful, the other thinks I'm horrible. Grew up in the same household.
You are not alone. Be gentle on yourself. Hope for his happiness with his girlfriend and child. Let it go. He's on his own path.
