[QUOTE="DDD, post: 109467, member: 35"] You know that old expression "misery loves company" ?? [img]:smile:[/img] I don't have much evil in me BUT this thread has really been a help to me because some of you have GFGmom clones. From a distance if you don't have one it seems like there should be a really quick simple answer..cut off the contact. on the other hand what happens is that it starts with one problem and then it snowballs after one child is involved, to two and then to three. You know you HAVE to do "something" but you can't cut off all contact because you are dealing with the fatherless boys "Mommy". "Waving the bag" of prescriptions really wasn't an "in your face". It actually is sad on many levels. She feels like I have emotionally abused her by making her feel guilty when she does things like this. It is more like dealing with a dysfunctional, self-induced low esteem adolescent. She wants the respect of being a middle age Mom of three. There is [img]:sad:[/img] nothing to respect. The best I can say is that she could be doing drugs and she isn't. So in her mind she was using the bags as proof that she had not spent the money at McD's etc. It was like a shield saying "see...your grandchild had to have these and as her Mom I had to get them". Although I didn't mention it before I lent her our company truck to use til Tuesday. Her car was at the mechanics. The mechanic told her it will be just under a thousand to get the car fixed. She has zip savings, creditors hounding her and she works 45 miles away and commutes. I know what is coming. She is going to have no choice but to beg for help. I do not have it and I can not access it. She will end up finding a way to get an advance on her IRS tax return in advance at an exhorbitant rate. She will, I predict, ONCE AGAIN, claim the two boys on her tax form to get the biggest refund possible and THEN she will apologize for taking our deductions and say "I had to do it or I would have no way to support my children."
