[QUOTE="witzend, post: 380569, member: 99"] Thanks, all. I know that you all have been through this too and it [I]does[/I] help to know I'm not alone. I'm certain that the "Check myself into the hospital" is another manipulation. He himself even starts this all out by "I'm a manipulative loser." Well, [I]that[/I] really makes me want to think you've changed. NOT! There's no real damage to the apartment, just a basic fact that he never once cleaned up after himself in 3 months so it's scummy. And I mentioned to you all about how the last time we saw him he stunk to high heaven of BO. He scratched their car. He's gotten their electric bill to the point that they're going to get cut off. I talked to the gal last night, and she was angry at first but calmed down quickly. I told her I would pay a cleaning lady to come clean up the bath and kitchen. I know. It's bailing him out. But my thought is that if I sat in a dump for very long I'd be steaming mad and thinking about pressing charges. If it were clean and I didn't have to live in filth or clean for days in addition to school, I might be more philosophical about the car scratch and the electric bill... Maybe borderline is more appropriate. I knew it was going to be very difficult for him to be alone. No one likes being along but he has never been. He's also not ever once conformed to anyone else's needs or schedules, so he's always moving from friend to friend. We don't need this right now. We're living from paycheck to paycheck as it is. I'm trying to refi the house to get the payment down, but it's only been 2.5 years, so I don't know how well we can do with that. Oh, well. Enough about that. I told husband last night that at some point we are going to have to accept that he is a person who needs to be in jail or in a mental institution and just let that happen. husband agreed. He's pretty miffed, too. [/QUOTE]
