[QUOTE="JayPee, post: 749416, member: 23405"] Reading everyone’s input gives me some strength. Your stories are not identical but extremely similar to mine. Right now I’m still working on detachment from 30 yr old homeless but living in car son. Yesterday I left at 7 am to go to the lake for the day. I didn’t keep my cell phone close by and was busy chatting and having a good time. I happened to check my phone when we arrived and had a missed call and 14 text messages. My son lives in his car and I pay his gas to the tune of about $300 a month in good weather. He said food pantry and soup kitchen were closed for the 4th and 5th of July and he was dehydrated (never just says thirsty) and had no food or water. I told him I was away and out of reach for the day. That’s when he pummeled me with text messages and verbal abuse and similar to what’s been mentioned in threads starts to call me by my first name. Just trashing me. Saying I’m a b&@!? And should never have been a mother. I don’t take care of my children. Etc. I’m back in town today but have blocked his calls. He’s going to need gas today and it just feels like by my continuing this that I’m saying to him. You win and what you’ve said is right. But I don’t know how to stop the filling gas. Plus there are plenty of things I pay regularly for him to the tune of $500 a month. How will I ever get strong enough to stop this vicious cycle of behavior? Sometimes I feel like a hopeless case.
