[QUOTE="Lil, post: 660230, member: 17309"] :winnersmiley: But not hours...minutes. We were texting each other and his aunt at 5-ish. It takes about an hour to get from where he was to his grandparents house. I posted he was on his way there at about 6:20 - realistically, he was probably just there. He texted me at [COLOR=#ff0000][B]6:47[/B][/COLOR] already losing his mind! He apparently had been lectured at length about "God's plan". He is an avowed atheist. They were telling him to get a job. He doesn't want to because the girl is supposed to get a place in just a few weeks and he'll go back to her. I didn't see the texts until 9:00. My response: Your grandparents deeply believe and part of that is spreading their belief to the people they love. Live with it. (He'd already been advised by me that he best be respectful to his grandparents.) I further suggested that he should get a job. Worst care scenario, he'll quit right away. Best case, he earns some money, gets out of the house, and if he's really lucky, works on Sundays and gets out of church. Or he can go to a shelter. His choice. I also reminded him that these people accepted him into the family before Jabber and I even married and have loved him from day 1. So if he decides he has to go, be kind to them and do so gently. He has not responded to my texts. No! No! No! Shame on you for suggesting such a thing! I don't want him back until he's ready to walk into court and face the judge, admitting he ran and being ready to take what comes. Jabber doesn't think he'll last two days at the grandparents. I just want him to NOT be rude to the only people in the whole world who love him enough to give him yet another chance. [/QUOTE]
