Food Yes, No Money

Son called and wanted to come home and shower. Translation: let me come home and lay around and then get money from you for drugs and alcohol.

I offered to bring him food because I know he hasn't eaten. But he declined the food and wanted ten dollars. Guess that's enough to get take the edge off. I said no, hung up, and turned off my phone.

In the past, I would have felt so bad because it's Thanksgiving and he has no food. Well, I offered food and now it's Happy Thanksgiving to ME.

Must be the season. My son syarted texting and calling while I was out for dinner. He wanted 10 dollars. He did not ask for food. I did not answer the calls nor did I respond to his text messages. The messages became more thteatning and menacing. I would like to say it did not bother me.

IBTL, Good for you for sticking to upholding your boundaries. It still sucks rocks.
