[QUOTE="Sea66, post: 693914, member: 20519"] Ok, so here's the latest. I don't like talking about this with others, so this is a little strange. Plus, I've been doing this blindly for a while now, so I'm a little exhausted and sick with hyperthyroidism, so excuse me now if... My son "saved" a girl from drugs and alcohol a year ago and they have been living in a studio apartment for a couple of months (streets prior or his car that I repossessed) for $220 per week. They work here and there, pan handle, probably drug deals, who knows. She was working for a while while my son sat on his butt doing nothing. Felt like he found a substitute mommy. So, last week I get the frantic phone call: she's been arrested for probation violation and he can't function without her. "Get a job!" But if I get a job now, I won't get paid for 2 weeks and rent is due next week! "Get day jobs. Figure it out." Next day: mom, I'm trying to donate plasma and they denied me because I'm low on iron, can you please feed me? I told him that I was sorry but I couldn't help him right now. (Words from a book on enabling) later that day I get a text saying that he has had the best day ever! That he had gotten a new baby kitten. I said, "you can't eat the cat, and cat food and litter are very expensive! Please don't let another living thing suffer" That was Saturday. I brought him a Sunday paper and iron supplements the next day. Wonder if he looked for jobs or tore up the paper for kitty litter :) Haven't heard from him since. Girlfriend still in jail. I have a feeling they may keep her a while, which means that I will have to be unavailable. In hiding. Thanks to all for listening! I'm so grateful to have found you! [/QUOTE]
