I did! And I thought I was a winey s.o.b, he's worse than me. If I were to speak like that to my folks, my dad would've punch me out cold. He had his parents sell their home for his debts!! And he still owed money! OMG

It was the genius boy who grew up thinking he could win at gambling, he thought wrong.

This guys parents lost everything trying to help him, he thought they owed him that and more.

It really was unbelievable.

Yeah, I wanted to smack him......hard.

Seems to me the fault belongs to the parents. You let a kid get away with s*** like that from the beginning and yea, you're gonna end up with a whining brat.

Redd, how are you?

I agree Lisa, they went way overboard catering to his needs, and then could not pull back the reigns.

as for me, still feels like somethings missing, its hard to explain. I have got out of the house, 3 funerals in a week and a half will do that for you though.

I go back to a meeting after work tonight, its time.

thanks for asking.

Have you gone back to work as well? Or do you work at home? Sorry about the funerals, man, that might have been a bit much for you, don't you think? You are one tough cookie, Redd. I don't know, I don't think I could of been half the person you are.

Isn't parenting fun? My kids are spoiled to say the least but I still rule with an iron fist. (Imagine that).

Not a good day today...need to get off of my butt and get outside.

Love you

that was awful the way he treated his parents and for the parents to have enabled him in such a huge way was very sad. he was like trying to control then even in the intervention by saying he would go if they covered a debt. $ 500,00 in 6 yrs by them selling their house and him grabbing moms keys out of her hand and her saying it was harassment, she should have gotten a restraining order. this child prodigy really needed a dose of tough love.

So he didn't go to rehab?

Went back to work a week ago, needed to do that as well. The place I work is like family, I have known the owners since I was a kid and just love them.

The funerals were all must attends, I was close to all 3, so it really was not up for debate.

Someone told me when I was pregnant with my son that parenting is the hardest jod I would ever have if I did it right. Its easy to say yes, hard to say no. Easy to give in, hard to hear them cry. That is so true.

I know what you are saying about spoiling with an iron fist. My son knows I love him, but that play station can be taken away as well.

He checked himself out after 3 weeks. Not sure who I felt more sorry for, him or his parents. Also the other woman they profiled on the show with the shopping addiction - man she had some issues...I really felt bad for her as well

but they never said if they over came their addiction or not.

I remember that girl from E.R. too.

Thanks for the smile this morning. I totally get the play station thing. It is my biggest ace in the hole for my youngest. He would rather I take the car than the play station. Too funny.

I understand about the funerals, sometimes it's a duty thing. Just seems so sad for you right now.

How are you feeling these days about your recovery? You seem strong and sure...

Strong?.... thats iffy.....but sure?....you betcha......I am sure I will not use today, and pretty sure about the days after. Sure enough to know what I have here....today, sure enough to know I don't ever want to go back to that life, or lack of rather.

Sure enough to realize I still need help, sure enough to reach out and get it.

Talking to you sure helps, Lisa, thanks.

Some days that's all I can do is reach out.

Talking to you helps me too, thank you for being there.

Love

ya that guy was too much He basically blackmailed his parents into paying his debt saying he wouldnt go unless they paid it.Then he didnt even hold his end up and checked himself out early.He sounded like a selfish immature little kid and it was like he believed that his parents should give him money as if they where somehow responsible for his screwups and they owed it to him unbelievable.I found it very hard to sympathize with him because he didnt take any responsibility for his actions and seemed to believe his family and friends owed him something.He came across as a spoiled selfish little kid and it was pretty hard not to want to give him a slap.I am a addict and ive done selfish and underhanded things to aquire my doc because I was afraid of the hell that would follow but I felt bad deep inside that I took advantage of my family and friends and I didnt feel that he had any remorse for his actions infact he acted as if they owed him somehow,thats what got me .Maybe Im being unfair somehow but thats just the way he seemed to me
17
I don't think you're being unfair at all. That kid feels no remorse or responsibility. They should all just let him try and deal with life on his own for a while, then maybe he'll realize how LUCKY he has been.
18
I agree If he gets himself into trouble again gambling they should leave him to deal with it so he will learn from his mistakes I think theyve always bailed him out and maybe that has abit to do with his attitude.
