[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 701582, member: 16024"] What would there be that you could do, even if you wanted to do something? I mean, she is in the hospital, getting her ( real or imagined!) medical needs taken care of. If she has to pay the bills, then let her pay them without your help. Maybe she will quit taking unnecessary risks (including not carrying medical insurance) and stop going in for unnecessary treatments if you stop paying the bills. She will never stop if you continue to give her the attention (and cash) that she seeks. It does seem that she has upped the ante to get your attention. That is to be expected. Do you have unlimited funds? Because this will never end as long as you keep giving her money. It is never over, as long as we keep giving them money. What icentive would she have to quit this behavior, if she gets rewarded for it? I mean, it works for her. And if it doesn't, she pivots to an even more horrible story. I wonder, if you don't respond, what the next ante will be. [/QUOTE]
