[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 498408, member: 59"] I'm so glad to hear from you and thrilled you went to a women's retreat. You really are taking care of yourself! I think your difficult child really does want to see you. You know him better and you are right to be skeptical and protect your heart, but he has consistently kept in touch with you except for those times he knew you would not be pleased with him. I don't think it's just to see what he can get from you, I think he really knows you want him to get help and you will only support that. If he didn't want any contct with you he wouldn't keep in touch like he is. You have not given him anything except for some grocery money and rent at his sober house. He must get the idea now what you are willing and not willing to help with. I'm glad you will be seeing him next weekend. He probably does want a good meal but so does my difficult child when we visit her or she comes here. That's normal and not at all manipulative. I maybe naive TL but I have to believe that his week of homelessness has taught him that he doesn't ever want to go back there. Thanks for checking in, you did have me a bit worried that we haven't heard from you. Nancy [/QUOTE]
