[QUOTE="WorriedFriend, post: 698897, member: 20745"] I apologized to Kim for the way I spoke to her. She has ignored me. I wrote her a letter about 2 weeks ago letting her know once again that I was sorry. I also told her that I was setting some boundaries in my life. I have bent over backwards for her and her son. I was spending time with my nephews one evening, about 4 months ago, when she called and ask if I could take her to bail her son out of jail. She had taken her evening medications and was unable to drive, so I cut my time short with my family to take her to get him. She told him he would have to go to a homeless shelter because he could not come to her house. He said he needed to go to the hospital because he would soon be going through withdrawals. I spent all night with them in the ER. When he got out I payed for him to stay in a nice hotel for 4 days until his court date. Needless to say, he stayed there one night and then took off to the beach without letting his mother know where he was. He didn't call her for 3 days. She was worried sick and I was ticked!! On the day of his court date he called her to tell her where he was and that he needed her to come get him because he was sick and needed to go to the hospital. He was 3 1/2 hours away. Kim has back trouble and can't drive long distances, so guess who she called? Me! I left work to take her to get him.
