[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 448365, member: 1550"] Thanks. Actually, although I certainly would never expect this from my own kid, I knew a woman from Hong Kong who worked at a nearby restaurant. She told me that the kids from Hong Kong (which is where he was born) take care of their parents. I also don't think that if S. pitched in once or twice it's the end of the world, but Houng Dog YOU NAILED IT. He doesn't understand what it means to be in a family. People talk about each other. They get angry and forgive. Sometimes kids help out when times are tough because they love their family. They have a safe haven with their loved ones. K. gets it and has that with her family, but God only knows what she has been told about the rest of us. I hang this on him and, realizing he is not a family member, will move on. There was no point in speaking my piece in the meeting. I had to go alone (for a reason, of course). Maybe, if he does call me...haha, I'll agree to meet him one more time and then tell him what's on my mind. But I think it's best to let it go. If I thought speaking my feelings would dent those two, I would have. Clearly all the pain I had, shown in the letters, didn't do it so why would speaking my mind? [/QUOTE]
