[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 372353, member: 9175"] Thanks, Jo. I, too, believe X thinks he's not enabling. And, if he was being honest about the car instead of making excuses, I'd probably feel better. When he dances around and makes excuses, it just seems to prolong her behavior. This is the SECOND internet dude she's run off with. The first time, she ended up back at X's for awhile (long, long story) and he was actually going to let her use his car to drive to North Carolina (we are in Ohio) to visit him. He was using the carrot and stick method (according to him) and ended up telling her she couldn't use his car -not because this was a seriously bad idea - but because she'd overdrawn her checking account. It's baffling to me. I am in contact with her. We talk on the phone every day. I tell her I love her every day. I've made it very clear that I will pick her up any time of the day or night. I just won't pick up P. Will not. We have pact that I will pick her up - anywhere - no questions asked. She's employed this twice and I've kept my word. I AM very grateful to my X (and have told him so) for not allowing them to stay with him. We have a decent relationship, but he does shut down sometimes when it comes to difficult child. I honestly believe she WANTS the dad with the shotgun, but he just isn't that dad. We know she's not in danger with this dude, but as long as she continues this behavior, she is likely to be in danger with the next one - or the next one. That's where I wish her dad would take a stand. Dash [/QUOTE]
