[QUOTE="Jackievg, post: 676269, member: 19930"] I appreciate your response. Sometimes I wonder if there are people who cannot, simply [U][I]cannot[/I][/U], think normally - whatever normal is. Those of us who are 'nomal' cannot get into the heads of those who are not. Mason was always different, could only think of the moment, and I am sure he has a mental disorder of some kind, although nothing was ever diagnosed. Maybe in today's world it would be. With the present situation (paying for his trailer, phone, honey bucket) I am so much more content with my life than when I got those phone calls with the crying, begging, etc. This is set in stone and, fortunately, it is not a financial burden. For my peace of mind I am willing to do this, at least for now. Whatever is spent on him will be reduced from his inheritance when we're gone. My husband is younger so Mason has a long wait! In truth, he has tons of health problems, refuses to take care of himself, doesn't care, and will likely not live to be old. I didn't expect him to make it to 30. There were other, less dramatic, suicide attempts. There is a long history here. Believe me, he will never change his life. If I cut him off, he would be on the street, he would beg, and he wouldn't last long. He would do nothing to change. That's too much for me to deal with, hence I do what I do - for now. I'm new to this site so hope I'm doing it right. I will look up your thread. Thank you! [/QUOTE]
