[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 629416, member: 15801"] An update.... he called last night. First thing he did was apologize for how he ended the call the night before. That is progress him apologizing right away before my calling him on it. I told him that if he does that again I will hang up and then will not answer any more calls that night. That it is not ok for him to talk to me like that. He said ok and apologized again. Then he said but in a constructive way that he didnt want me to be judgemental about him and his girlfriend. I told him I was not being judgemental just telling him what I thought that I was staying out of his relationship with her, that I knew it was his business. So ok thats fine. I also told him I didnt want to keep talking about canteen. He did say that one thing that would help is a radio and some sweat pants and would I consider giving him money for those. It is true that in general music really helps him and there is no way for me to send him anything at all, the only way to get any of that is through canteen. I told him to wait a couple of weeks and I would think about it. He accepted that. He also said that he knows I think he only calls because he wants something but he does call just to talk..... it is also true that when he is in jail we hear from him and talk to him more than at other times. He has no one else to talk to I guess. I told him I was always willing to talk to him and support him which is also true. I did ask him if the girlfriend was really pregnant.... apparently she missed a period and had positve pregnancy test.....so he thinks so. Who knows I guess we will find out. I still kind of doubt it but we will see. I am just not going to worry about that yet. TL Sent using ConductDisorders mobile app [/QUOTE]
