[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 643136, member: 1967"] Oh, Nancy, she tried to manipulate all right. The first day it was just dropping hints on how she couldn't see because she was down to one contact lens. I reminded her that I had bought two pairs of glasses in the past year which she "lost" so I was done with worrying about her eyesight. She said some other things which I just ignored. Yesterday, though, I lost it. We had picked her up for lunch and then went to see another movie. She remarked several times that she was out of her medications and 'hoped" she didn't have a seizure. She asked if we could take her to her doctor appointment on Monday afternoon and we said no since we were leaving in the morning. She whined that it would be a 2.5 hour bus trip which I again ignored. We planned to take her out to dinner before we left yesterday and she said she wasn't hungry and asked if we would spend the money on toiletries instead. I said all right and took her to Walmart where she bought some things that she needed. Then we went to drop her off and she started begging for money for the doctor. She is going to someone off of her insurance which meant it would cost $75. husband had told her that we wouldn't pay anymore this calendar year so she was supposed to wait for the new year. She started crying saying she was out of medications and needed to go on Monday. I was furious because she had let it slip that she had only worked two days last week since the bus "was always late." At that point I totally lost it and started screaming and cursing and threw $40 at her (all that was in my purse). I told her that this is why I have her blocked on my phone...all she wants from us is money. She flinched and I could see that my words were hurting her but couldn't stop. So the visit didn't end well. She shows no interest in sobriety. She says that she doesn't want to live this life but won't do what she needs to do to change it. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
