[QUOTE="WiseChoices, post: 753568, member: 24254"] That's not a problem at all, Copa. I am so sorry you are hurting this much . I think you mentioned before that M is alcoholic / used to have a problem with it? If I remember that correctly, then he also has codependent tendencies .at least that is what I have observed over the years in the recovery rooms .That is why he softens at times . You flip flop the tough cop and the lenient cop roles .my husband and I do the same thing. It's hard. It makes everything harder .A united front is very important. I wonder whether M might be willing to attend Al-Anon for your son's sake (and his own well being)? $750 in 12 days with no essentials like rent or food covered points to an addiction of some kind in my view .Have you asked him? How he thinks it's ok to live rent free when he had $750? Fear will get me every single time. For me, it was so important to develop a relationship with a higher power because fear can only be replaced by faith. Aging does not scare me anymore because I take care of myself physically, emotionally, and spiritually on a consistent basis .I fall off the wagon for a day or two sometimes , but I pretty much am consistent . Weight lifting has had very beneficial mental aspects for me as well .What I am trying to say is : taking one day at a time , having faith that I will be ok and that everything will work out as it is supposed to, and allowing my HP to guide me every step of the way, life can be a wonderful adventure. I don't know where like will take me for the next 50 years but I know it will be good . Sending you love and hope and courage . [/QUOTE]
