[quote=Anonymous]Not sure if those are diagnoses. I have a family member who is a therapist… yet is one of the enablers in my vent here: Instead of my adult child taking healthy guidance, he accuses me of talking down to him. When I offer advice on budgeting, he disregards it but expects me to be his personal bank every week, sometimes more frequently. When I explained how I felt used and unappreciated until he needed something, he disowned me. He hasn’t spoken to me in months. I’m no longer allowed to know anything about him or my grandchild. My family enables him and his fiancé by providing for them. Instead of supporting me in teaching them how to survive independently and not rely on others’ money to support them, even though he earns enough to support himself, his fiancé, and their child, my son and his fiancé engage in fiduciary abuse by guilt-tripping family members to pay for their needs and wants. They’re ungrateful and rude, expecting things to be handed to them. My grandmother instilled this entitlement in my children when they were young, but she continues to cater to my son, even after I’ve asked her and other family members to help me teach them and guide them toward becoming responsible adults. # Entitled Adult Dependent Syndrome #Estranged Families #Failure to Launch Syndrome [/quote]
