[QUOTE="JayPee, post: 752044, member: 23405"] Busy, He did give me the name of the place and the town it was in but often times when he'd say he "had" a job he meant he "knew of one". I am not engaging in conversation with him at all so I don't want to reply and ask specific questions to lead him to think if he gives me "good" legitimate sounding answers that I'll help. He has a bad history with jobs. Even when he wasn't living in his car. He only keeps them 3-6 months due to some issue with "other" people. It's never his fault and someone is always doing him wrong. Also, I have never seen him hold down a 40 hr. a week job. His jobs are usually part -time and he never gets a second one to cover his expenses. I really don't think at this time he does drugs but he still thinks it's my obligation as his mother to support him in any way shape or form. He most definitely feels "entitled".I feel like if I help just one more time...I'm opening up pandora's box. I'm opening myself up to more contact with him and from what I've been reading I should wait to engage in a "relationship" with the abuser/person only after I have seen sustained changes in them. If and when that ever happens. [/QUOTE]
