[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 621647, member: 17542"] I am sorry your mom and dad are having to deal with this but I am very GLAD that it's not you and husband. You can't stop them from doing whatever they are going to do for their grandson. At some point, they will have given $200 and another $200 and another $200 and they will have to stop. Maybe your dad will again stand up and say No More and this time both of them will be able to stick to it. It just delays the inevitable. When my ex-husband was still doing and doing and doing, I had compassion for him. I remember when I was that way. It is really, really hard to stop when you love someone. But eventually, many people do because they are just completely worn out from it all and jaded from the never-changing nature of it. When is enough enough? I think it would be really hard for my parents if my son were directly contacting them for money. I am very glad he has not done that. That way, they have not had to make a decision about yes or no. I have kept them informed about things along the way and my thought process. They have been very supportive but it would be different, at least harder, with direct contact. My son still has his very old apple laptop but the cord frayed out so he can't even charge the battery. He has hocked it several times but always somehow managed to get it back out of the pawn shop. My ex-husband got it out a couple of times! He now has no technology at all. SS, I hope that sooner comes sooner rather than later for difficult child and girlfriend and they have to stand on their own, but I get the process. It takes as long as it takes, and that's okay. Hugs to you today. [/QUOTE]
