[QUOTE="Guidance seeker, post: 726223, member: 22632"] LBL, he was appreciative today and it was nice to see him show a bit of maturity but as the time we spent together went on, he started asking for a small amount of money - only £2. I’d already offered to order him a takeaway tonight so I refused and he kept saying “Please mam, how can you leave me like this”. I started getting angry with him and had a bit of a rant about how it was his fault completely and bringing up all the things he had done - I was suddenly feeling overwhelmed again with all of his problems. He had eventually pawned my mam’s crucifix this morning (he said he was going to a few days ago) and said it was for his hotel tomorrow but it seems the money has gone because he owed it to someone - that was stressing me too. I know he will most likely buy it back next month as it means a lot to him but it still makes me distressed. Now I’m back home and calm, I feel guilty that I shouted. Up until the last 30 minutes, it had been a good day and gave me a tiny bit of hope of improvement. Once he gets in his flat, I think I will find it easier to let go (I hope). [/QUOTE]
