[QUOTE="Enmeshedmom, post: 734609, member: 22547"] where are her parents and why isn’t she looking to them for help? Sounds like she knows you feel a sense of responsibility because their father is your son and she is using that to her advantage. You are not responsible to pick up the ball if your son drops it but she knows you will. If anybody should help with phone bills and moving costs it should be him, if he is unable to that doesn’t automatically make it your problem. I am in the process of untangling myself from total enmeshment with my oldest son, fortunately though he has no children. I can see where that would make it a lot harder. I read somewhere that givers need to set limits because takers never do and that is so true. Good luck to you [/QUOTE]
