[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 615307"] Thanks guys. H and I talked it out. We're on the same page as the advice given here. We've made our feelings clear to difficult child and we're tabling anymore discussion until after the holidays. And no, not a penny more. That's done. H is taking his suburban back and we will let difficult child think we 're selling it and park it at my moms for a few months to avoid any temptation to let him use it. (H loves having a truck and wants to keep it) I think h will march difficult child down to the bursars office to see his account activity but not until after easy child goes back to school. We dropped him off at my moms at noon and she put him to work around the house (she has no idea) and took him to the cemetery to visit my dad's grave. I'm hoping he was mighty uncomfortable. I spent 6 hours at work- shooed h to take my brother out to lunch while I was there. My sister in law was just diagnosed w breast cancer and I figured both my bro & h needed some Mano a Mano time. I got to my moms at 6 and spent the next 4 hours cleaning and setting the table -china, silver, crystal, the whole shebang- for Christmas dinner. I worked my butt off; her house was a cluttered, messy disaster. Shes always been scattered but she's slipping a lot and it scares me. We packed her into the car and are on the road back home in a freezing rain storm. I'm exhausted and probably at the end of my rope emotionally. difficult child is a primadonna, my mom is a primadonna and it's going to be a long week. She's staying with me so she won't be alone and she will cook Christmas dinner while I shuttle her to the grocery store and clean the kitchen after her and let my own Christmas traditions fall away, just so we can rush out Christmas Day and take all the food back to her house and she can play the grande dame. I know it's absurd but it's the best option of even worse options. Remind me to come back as the primadonna in my next life; k? Thanks for all your words of support. I'm just going to try to get thru the holidays and let the chips fall where they may w difficult child. His initial screw up at 19 could have been a mistake. But repeating it - act for act- 2-1/2 years later is a choice. [/QUOTE]
