[QUOTE="katya02, post: 237455, member: 2884"] Thanks, guys. I think difficult child has gotten away with everything he could in the past month, knowing I would be reluctant to take things to a fight when husband's health was so fragile. It doesn't make me like him more, that's for sure. Every time I act warm and positive it absolutely backfires on me. Last night difficult child came home from work talking about moving in with a co-worker and he actually had a plan for how much money to save, for a location within walking distance of work, and reasons why this co-worker would make a good roommate. I responded positively, encouraging him and saying we would support him taking this step, agreeing that it's time (!), etc. He then segued to saying how hurt he is that husband and I thought he had no plan, how hurtful husband's talk with him was, that we constantly belittle his work and ability and how hurtful it is, etc. etc. Three or four times. I was too tired to engage (3 am after picking him up) and didn't want to play the game anyway. But with him, no good deed goes unpunished. Today he's back to complaining. The bubble didn't even last 24 hours. I'm about ready to give him money to move out!! [/QUOTE]
