[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 659736, member: 17635"] About an hour ago, husband and I were in heavy traffic when my cell rang with a # I did not recognize. 99% of the time I do not pick up on those calls, but today had to be the 1%. Hey Mom! Me: Hey! This is (Difficult Child) Me: Hi Difficult Child. How are you? He starts crying, "Not well. I need to see you." Me: We cannot get up there the next few days. No, I have a ride to your place. Me: You can't stay at our house. I'm at ex-girlfriend's grandmother's house. Ex-girlfriend's family cannot understand why you guys treat me like this. Me: Well, perhaps you have not been honest with them. No, Mom, YOU be honest! (he was mad by now, and no longer crying that I could tell) I interrupted with "No, I'm not going through this again." Cannot remember if I said goodbye or just hung up on him. ***************************************************** by then, I was shaking. I want to text, "Difficult Child, you need to find a shelter, get a job, get into rehab, quit playing the victim and start living the life you deserve." Difficult Child just has his dad and me so unsettled [B]again. [/B]After all the things he has said to us and about us and yet his 34 self feels free to contact us when he wants something and continue to want "reparations" - a term he used once to explain why he thought we owed him. Prop us up if you have time, please. SS [/QUOTE]
