[QUOTE="JayPee, post: 750319, member: 23405"] I went away on a little vacation for 4 days with my sister, Not far from where I live but out of State. I gave my 30 yr old son a 7-11 gas card with $80 on it for easily two gas fill ups during that interim. I told him I would be out of the area and warned him to use the card for this purpose. He still easily would have had $20 extra. During my vacation he text me about the never ending potential job he’s waiting to hear back on etc. I really didn’t say much except once in a text. “ Great. Good luck”. Early today I get a call and he’s again telling me he’s hoping for this job and should hear back. Then he ends with he’s on empty and his phone is gonna die and I have to help him with gas. I was soooooo furious because he’d been warned by me that 4 days and $80 for gas was it! I ended up hanging up on him and then had to block his calls because he kept calling. I just returned home and saw a blocked voicemail. He blew up my phone telling me I’m ruining his car and now he had to go take out a $400 loan against the title on his car (that I bought) and it’s an enormous interest rate and called me all kinds of names ending with I’d better call him before the end of the day before he cashed the check and ends up with having to pay back this loan. I’m just so upset because I had really been just about ready to call him and cave again and tell him I was back and to meet at a gas station. I’m so torn by his destructive behavior and yet still feel compelled to step in and save him. Should I just ignore him and let this play out? I would so appreciate some advice. [/QUOTE]
