I want to know if i'm being illogical. I have 2 children, a daughter that moved out about 4 years ago and is happy and has a daughter that i see very regularly and i get along with her mate. This child never gave me any trouble growing up. My son had been in trouble with the law from the time he was 14 until now (he's 21). I put out a great deal of effort and money to keep him from being a felon and to help him get on his feet. He now has a great job on a riverboat and hasn't been in any trouble. He has a girlfriend and they have a 6 month old child. His girlfriend and he have had lots of trouble but seem to make it. He clings to his girlfriend no matter what and won't listen to me or his dad about what he needs to do about probation, fines, etc. And when he comes home from his boat he doesn't make it a priority to see me. I feel like he has cast me aside and doesn't appreciate the fact that he wouldn't be where he is without me. IS THIS ILLOGICAL? I feel like it both is and isn't. For example, I helped him open an acct at the bank and put my name on it so that i'd be able to help him transact in his absence, but he overdrew it and i ended up paying 110.00 to clear it. Of course I took my name off but he wasn't as anxious to pay me back the money as I thought he shd be. Things like that that seem like good reasons to be very angry with him but also seem like i m clinging to him like a girlfriend or something!!
