[QUOTE="witzend, post: 117091, member: 99"] What happened to "Moving on"? His goals are to get a car an apartment and a girlfriend? OK, does he have a plan as to how to achieve this? Sorry, but he is so F O S his eyes must be dark brown. This is what you need to practice. "No." "No." "No." "No." Don't say "I'm sorry." Don't say "I don't know." Don't say "I'll call so and so for you." If he's got a phone to call you, he can call the darned PO himself and make whatever arrangements he can for himself. Do not engage in discussion about what you might be able to do for him. You are going to do nothing for him. I'm sorry, but if you can't afford $500 to bail him out, what in the heck makes him think you have the money to put him in rehab? It's not free, even with insurance. You're right. You didn't put him there. He can get his own sorry behind out. I guarantee you, once you stop the discussion, he'll stop calling and bugging you about it, and you won't feel guilty anymore. [/QUOTE]
