[QUOTE="Snow White, post: 701585, member: 355"] Thanks, ladies for keeping me walking the straight and narrow path of detachment! Of all my emotions, I'm still feeling more 'angry' right now and that helps keep me in check with the enabling. This is what I was talking about in my other thread about her making up medical conditions for sympathy, etc. She is such a drain on the medical system. I remember taking her for an endoscopy/colonoscopy about 7 years ago. She was having 'boyfriend' issues at the time. She called the boyfriend from the recovery area, screaming at him because he wouldn't rush to the hospital to see her and that they had admitted her because they found something really bad. Seriously? And I was right there. She had a major rage attack even with the conscious sedation still on board. The ride home from the hospital was a disaster. She jumped out of the van half way home and we had to chase her down. When I was visiting her in Asia last year, she gave me all of her medical receipts/reports to take back with me. She didn't want to be lugging them around. I could not believe the thousands of dollars that she spent for mostly "dehydration" and hypothyroidism-related conditions. I have the test results that state she hasn't had Dengue fever, malaria or endometriosis. She would argue that they were 'false negative' tests. So, now Chicken Little has once again said the sky is falling. I'm mad. I sent a reply to the FB friend of hers. I hope I did ok. Said, "Thank you for the messages, M. Please tell D that we hope she is feeling better soon. We are praying for a quick recovery. I know you called our house earlier. I'm not able to take calls at the moment, as I'm at an out-of-office event." We'll see what happens. It is late night over there now. Nothing I can do. I think the frantic phone calls were happening earlier because she is being discharged and she wants money to pay the bill. There have been no more calls for the past hour at my work. I imagine the next ante will be that she paid the bill herself but now needs money for a bed and food. Her classic line is, "Parents are supposed to help their children." [/QUOTE]
