Why Do our Kids Blame Us for their Lives Being in turmoil? Should I Stand my Ground Or Feel Sorry For them?

Our 28 year old son I am sorry to Say is a JERK. He blames me for everything. When he has not been our problem in 10 years. He moved out when he was 18 and been in a home with her every since. It is actually the Girl he is married to that is ruining his life and her older sister.. He met her in 1997 after my mother died. And his life has been in and out of trouble with the COPS. At 15, 16,17 and 18 he was in and out of JDC, for Underage Drinking to Yelling at the teachers at school, to Screaming at me, and Curfew Violtation. To getting her pregnant when she was 15 and he was 16. Thanks to her older sister. He snuck out the bedroom window while I was at work and she took them Parking allowed them to have unprotected Sex and the Girl got pregnant. Then her dad was going to Shoot him. Her parents showed up at our house and I was all to blame. Then 3 weeks later their Fabulous Daughter got stopprd by the Cops with a 13, 14, 15, 2-16 year olds in her Vehicle and she got a $700 dollar fine for Curfew Violation. But if they had searched the car they would have found out she had 22 40 ounce bottles of Beer and several older Bottles of stuff in there with all those kids. He was Barred from seeing them for 6 weeks and he would Lie and tell us he was going to the Park and meet them and take off. But at 20 his wives sister called the Cops on his he got a DWI, and at 21 he got a Public Intox. Then several tickets for Speeding and Careless Driving. Driving without Insurance. But he blames it all on Me. Says it is my fault. Now he is in trouble with DHS. Because her sister lives with them and turns them in for not having feed and having a Dirty House, and Living conditions and 3 adults and 5 kids in a 3 bedroom apartment, But she sits on her BUTT and does nothing. Now our son Got fired from his job and this is Also my Fault when He is the one who had a wreck at work and I find out it is his 5 accident in 8 months. So they fired him.. But it is My fauly because his wife is 8 months pregnant and now they have NO Insurance and When she goes on Maturnity Leave in 4 weeks they will have no place to live. Because her sister and 2 kids live with them and I refuse to let 3 adults and 6 kids move in on My husband. For us to support. Since I am Disabled. And facing Back Surgery. I am Currently Fighting for my Disability. And I have a stress disorder where My nerves will not handle all those kids under my feet. I live in the City Limits and they have an Ordinance where we will be in trouble with the Law for 5 adults and 6 kids in a 4 bedroom house. I Refuse to let it happen So It is my fault because they will be Homeless. I do not see where any of this is my fault. He mad his bed he needs to Lay in it as thee old saying is. But It is all blamed on me.

    he needs to stand on his own 2 feet and stop blaming you for his sh*t life.

    Only he can change it.

    You are too old for this. Stop worrying about him, he is an adult now!

    Live life for you not him!

    Good Luck!

    I think you should stand your ground. I can understand that as a parent you probably feel obligated to rescue him, but not this time. If you do that he's never going to learn to be a man. Also it's not your fault, because we're all responsible for our choices.

    Just because a parent raises a kid one way doesn't mean they'll turn out that way. I know people who make criminals look like preschoolers and teach their kids that way, but they turn out to be saints. I know of really religious people who's kids turn out to be delinquents also. The point is you can only teach your kids and the rest is up to them.

    You can still offer your support and not have them live with you too if you wanted. There are plenty of non-profit organizations that would help him improve is life, like with jobs, housing, and whatnot. Hope it works out.

    i'm very sorry to pay attention what you're dealing with! the 1st advice from me is you to be solid. the only thank you to get rid of a melancholy is by skill of speaking to somebody or writing the suggestions on a e book. greater you communicate and write your suggestions be happy.. regardless of in case you're drained after a artwork.. attempt to calm your self having a rhythm of a music you like on your head. Psychologically, while there is somebody under melancholy you mustn't rush issues... (do not communicate loud or do artwork speedy) maximum of all of the very terrific ingredient is to tutor to faith... to boot that's what religions are for... you may desire to sacrifice your self for the sake of your little ones and your loving husband..(not something of your life.. in case you do it appropriate it;ll be throughout quickly)do not permit your husband to be remoted... locate loose time to pass pass to a museum / park or to the sea with the full family. life isn't all approximately funds...
