[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 696267, member: 17542"] BG, so glad to hear from you...just catching up here. I'm also so glad that you didn't react to his manipulation. That's all it is and nothing more. Like others have said, this is not about you at all. He is "making the rounds." When one resource falls through...they start at the top of the list again...and that is usually Mom. Think of yourself as on a short list titled: People to Call When Things Go Bad. Instead of the list titled: Let Me Take Care of Myself. Think of yourself being able to simply say: Honey, I'm sorry I can't help, but I'm sure you'll figure it out. I love you. That will make him mad as heck, but only because you aren't doing what he wants. Then he goes to the next name on the list. In time, if he is lucky, the list dissolves. Completely. And then...he has to tackle that other list: Let Me Take Care of Myself. Here's hoping that happens sooner rather than later. Hang in there BG, we're here for you. [/QUOTE]
