[QUOTE="mumfromdownunder, post: 728019, member: 21819"] Thank you Sam3, I have had a few more texts from him in the last couple of hours. He says he has to move out of the place that he is in and needs money for food and wants me to store things at my house. (this happens approximately every 6 months or more - i have lost count of how many times I have had to move him - on my own and the amount of money I have paid on rent and bills etc) The problem is, I am not sure what to believe. As soon as I engage in any way it opens up the flood gates. I would like to think that I could just pick up the phone and talk about things rationally but that doesn't happen. If I agree to storing some of his things , that means I would have to go and meet with him, this is when he really manipulates me (he cannot come to my house). His father lives in another state (and is of no use). I hope he believes I love him (I do tell him), but sometimes, for me, just staying silent and not engaging is the only way I can stay relatively sane. He or people may think this is cruel (I can't sleep most nights).. I constantly second guess myself and feel I have just given up on him because I am not responding to every little thing and he will soon be homeless..I just don't know . [/QUOTE]
