[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 663581, member: 18958"] My son just called. SON: Good news. I just spoke with E (the Brazilian father) and he is willing to let me come back to live with them. H (the son) has lots of work for me (landscape concrete.) I can pay E back from the money I earn working. Me: I am glad for you. That is good news. SON: How are you? Me: OK. SON: Well. Yeah. I'm going to need....If I.... Me: Whatever you need you will take care of. SON: WAAAIT A MINUTE. (That agressive voice.) Me: I am happy things are working out for you. I will not let you speak to me that way. There is nothing I can do for you that you cannot do for yourself. I am grateful that you called to let me know your good news. Goodbye. SON: Uh. OK. And I hung up What I think he must have wanted from me was to buy his Amtrak ticket with my credit card. Only that. I should have listened to him. Heard him out. I could not bear to be used and abused one more time. I could no longer tolerate being just a thing to be used by him, and thrown away. Did I really blow it? [/QUOTE]
