[QUOTE="Lil, post: 663783, member: 17309"] I appreciate it Copa and I agree...I wish this was easier for all of us. But he's made no noises like he wants to come home. I don't really think your scenario is likely. I don't think he's going to ask to come back here. That's the really odd thing about all this. I don't know why he keeps texting and telling me how his life sucks and everyone there is so stupid, etc. Every time my response has been, "I don't know what to suggest. I'm sorry this has happened." Right now the plan is to just ignore him as best I can, if he asks for a ride to the ER...well...I'll have to consider it. Like I said, if he actually wants to go to the ER to the point where he'll ask me to come get him, that actually sounds like he wants to keep the job. But I don't really think he'll ask. I think he'll let himself get fired and then expect the girl to support him. Maybe he'll go sign up for food stamps again so he'll have food of his own. But he doesn't want to work. he told his grandmother he doesn't want to work. He told me he wanted to quit after the first night, but he couldn't, because there's no other jobs. What I think may be going on here is this: if he's fired because "he couldn't get to the doctor" and "it wasn't his fault" he "did all he could but no one would take him", well then how can the girl and her mom blame him? Then he can say, "But I wanted to work! I didn't see YOU finding me a ride! I don't know anyone here! It's not my fault! Once girlfriend gets enough money we can move to town and then I'll be able to walk to work!" He buys himself room and board for a good long while, while she works to support him and get them a place together. Then when they move, he'll have some other excuse. :( Yeah...that sounds about right to me. [/QUOTE]
