[QUOTE="Lil, post: 655597, member: 17309"] I think one of the things that gets me most about yesterday isn't the fight itself it's how utterly clueless he is. He really, truly, doesn't "get it". Do you believe he called again - to tell me he found a (poor) copy of yesterday's Game of Throne's episode on-line. I opined that "poor is what you get for a pirated episode", but the point is...he asked if next week he could come over. I said, "I really don't know. I doubt it. Yesterday was...bad." He said he understood. I said, "What gets me, is I sat around crying for HOURS yesterday Difficult Child. And apparently YOU were worried about your show. Did you really think it would all just blow over?" He said, "I just thought we'd put it behind us and have family time." I was practically speechless. I told him, "It's just not that easy." He said he understood and he'd see me tomorrow. He just thinks everything should be set aside and we'd be a happy family. He thinks - really thinks - that no matter what he does, no matter how bad it gets, that we'll just forgive and forget immediately. Where does that come from? How does that make sense? Yesterday in the car, we made some remark about how he's had six months to get a job...four months since he was arrested...two months since court. He had his taxes since his arrest. He should have saved them for the court costs. He was warned then that he'd need them. (Of course, when I told him that he said the money was already gone.) He started in on people stealing from him and I said, "Do you have ANY idea how IRONIC that is?" In retrospect, that was really what set him off. He said something along the line of how we should stop bringing that up. That he's done everything to make it up to us. What??? I asked, "What have you done?" He made some vague reference to being a better son. I said, "Being pleasant - being nice to us isn't enough. You have do something. Name me ONE thing you've done to change?" I think that's where he told me to shut the eff up. The whole time we were trying to get him to get out of the car he was screaming that he NEEDED us to be his parents. That he had no one. That he NEEDED OUR HELP! What do you do with that? [/QUOTE]
