[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 660537, member: 17635"] I am not so strong. This happened because of 15 yrs of emotional and verbal abuse. It has not been even 48 hrs since those calls. It was painful because it felt like saying goodbye to any chance of a relationship with Difficult Child. Though, there has been no real relationship for those 15 yrs. Difficult Child would text or call and husband and I would say to each other, [I]Ok, get ready, Difficult Child is about to ask for something[/I]. And, guess what. The request would come within a few hours. No. It sounded that way from what I posted. This is a friend of Difficult Child's from high school. He is on disability and lives with his dad. The friend's dad deals with mental illness and told husband and me years ago, when we met him on a walk, that Difficult Child can never stay there because of Difficult Child's mental illness. So, yes, it is good that Difficult Child has this one friend left standing, but the friend has issues of his own and (I am sorry to say this), serves the role as a pawn for Difficult Child. Absolutely and most definitely. Thank you for putting it so succinctly. Totally reality and husband and I needed to see that written out in b & w. SS [/QUOTE]
