[QUOTE="standswithcourage, post: 286778, member: 3948"] Andy you are brilliant. You should be a psychologist! I will come to you. Everything you said makes perfect sense. I did toomuch for him. He loved to fish when he was growing up and was really good at it. I always thought he could be a fishing guide for a living. He always knew where the fish were and just how to catch any fish you could think of - he was obsessed with it but it was a good thing. We took him fishing just about everywhere - he had all the gear for fly fishing and everything - he was good friends with the men that owned a fly fishing store - he is very charming - anyway I would take him fishing when his dad couldnt - actually I hate fishing - I would take a book and let him fish even though I really didnt want to go - I think that was the beginning of the codependent feeling and the feeling that mom would do whatever I wanted to just to make me happy or so I would have something to do besides get in trouble - so he fished for many years and built a bond with my Dad - now Daddy is old and has sold his boat - ryan hasnt seen him in about 3 years - I think I just went and went and went for him - and now it is blasted in my face and I look back on those years and think how can he be this mean to me? and I guess it is because he has no respect or something - I dont really know - but then drugs took the place of fishing - he quit high school - that was a biggie - I was working at the time at a school and it was just about time for school to be out so I didnt quit my job but had chores for ryan to do and when I got home we would go to counseling and look for jobs - the career counselor said he should get a job for a while - and that was the beginning of the drug era and it has been going strong ever since.
