[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 625927, member: 17269"] I think your instinct to go spend some good quality time with your easy child is good...but you should be direct with him about your thoughts and plans, in case he has plans of his own! I think you should stop sending CARE packages, and limit the phone calls to whatever feels right to you. He can call on a schedule or not at all. You are on a slippery slope, you know it, I see it. It is totally fixable. You just need MWM to give you a solid whack in the head so you can see straight (I love you MWM). Do not arrange your life around difficult child. You are getting a taste of what will happen if you do...bill collectors, requests for more more more (you sent him care packages and now he asks for more? really?), crowding, and maybe even the expectation that you'll house him and provide for him. He owes money. Its fair that he should be expected to pay it. You did fine giving the agency the info you did. Why should he walk on $2K of some one elses hard work? Why not pop off to Australia and check it out with the bestie? Your kids are grown. Sticking around to mommy them when one doesn't need it and the other won't benefit it just pointless martyrdom. Feeling direct tonight! Take what you want and leave the rest, Echo [/QUOTE]
