[QUOTE="PennyFromTheBlock, post: 633404, member: 18271"] This is all exactly what i need to hear. I've not heard anything else from him so far and I'm just going to quit responding. I'll admit that not responding freaks me out too because he HATES it when he's ignored. I have a brother who is very much like this personality wise and I don't talk to him at all- see him only at holidays because my mother includes him and insists I be nice. As far as drugs- I know he's smoked weed (or still does, I really don't know). I don't even see him that much- given my work schedule and traveling. And yes, my daughter loses in this because she does NOT cause me grief- and hell, if I wanted to hand out money it would be to her before anyone because she IS trying and lives on her own, no kids, no drama- pays her own rent, car, etc. There are times she is short or needs things and because she tries SO HARD I don't mind helping her. She has been greatly affected by this as well. She (unfortunately) has to feel the emotions too- mainly because she is so angry at him on MY behalf. I've told her that I'm fine and will be fine- but she fears him at times as well. My other real fear is jail- even if he went to jail, it won't be forever and what happens when he's released? Mad and vengeful. All of his crazy talk today- I flat out asked him if he was hyped up on something or high- because surely he can't believe his own bullshit. he said he wasn't/isn't. It's almost too bad- as crazy as this sounds- if he WERE then at least I could say that it was the drugs talking. But this is who he is. And evidently I've always taken the arrows and relented to keep the peace. [/QUOTE]
