Not sure what happened, my post got posted before I was done.
In spite of difficult child's head games I really did enjoy Christmas.
For the most part I have very little contact with difficult child. He's pretty typical in that I only hear from him when he's in trouble or wants something.
I shared on another post about him needing my help to get an ID. I was not happy about it but he does need an ID so I've sent off for the documents he will need. This is the first thing I've done to help him in quite a few years.
About a week ago he posted on FB that he needed a ride to Chicago. I had a little wave of panic as I live north of Chicago and was wondering what his intentions were. I have played out the scenario in my mind many times that if he showed up on my door step that I would not invite him in because I know he would be hard to get rid of. So while I wondered, I knew if it came to that I'd be ready. I didn't have to wonder to long as someone asked him why he needed to get to Chicago and he replied that he was invited to spend Christmas with a friend of his and then went on to slam me and husband in that we never invite him for Christmas.
He posted again a couple of days after that, that he would not be able to because no one was willing to help him including his own family.
It never ceases to amaze me how it's always someone else's fault that his life sucks.
Needless to say I do not respond to any of his posts on FB. I learned long ago to not engage with him.
What really irks me is a couple of years ago he was on a mission to convince me there is no God. You must understand I am a Christian and my faith comes first in my life. My difficult child went on a rampage calling me stupid, blind, naïve, ignorant, etc... for my faith. So for him to complain about not being invited to spend a Christian holiday with me makes no sense at all.
I'm waiting for the ID documents to come in the mail. difficult child has supplied me with an address to where I can mail them. I am trying to decide if I should include explaining to him that since he doesn't believe in God why would I invite him to share in a Christian holiday. Of course that's not the only reason, I don't trust him. I would be worried to have him in my home as if he went to the bathroom I would wonder if he was sneaking into my bedroom looking for money. Too many bad memories from the past.
I suppose I should just send the ID documents and not say anything.
Would appreciate some feedback.....
Thanks for listening.
