[QUOTE="LauraH, post: 759709, member: 22877"] Pretty good, considering. I had a shallow but pleasant conversation with my son a couple of days ago, not too productive but we did clear the air on a couple of things and set mutual boundaries on them. Today we spoke briefly but it wasn't so great. At one point I said I wished there was something I could do to help him. He took that as his cue to ask me to do something that he had asked me to do a year ago that I had said no to. I said no again this time. He said "Why do you say you wish you could do something and when I tell you something you can do, you tell me no?" That's his MO...any time I tell him no his attitude is basically that I never do anything for him. Which only pushes me closer to the point of literally never doing anything for him lol. He hung up on me, and my MO when he does that is to ignore his calls for the next few days. But I'm fine...the more he treats me like I'm a commodity and my sole purpose in life is to cater to him or else face his displeasure, the more distant and closer to apathy I get. Oh...and this may not surprise you...On Sunday he said he had $6000 from unemployment back pay (I'm skeptical that that was the source of the deposit, but that's neither here nor there). Yesterday he told me he's down to $2100. He said he paid for a couple of weeks at an AirB&B but other than that? I do not even want to know... [/QUOTE]
