[QUOTE="Lil, post: 644525, member: 17309"] Test number 1 was calling last night asking for rolling papers. After I bought him a pack of cigarettes and a pack of (50) papers on the 1st and two packs of cigarettes on the 3rd. Time for test number 2. He just called and asked for bread, cheese, lunch meat. Said he's completely out of food and has been all day and is hungry. Today is the 8th. On the 2nd, 6 days ago, I bought him: 2 packages of mac & cheese (the kind with sauce so he didn't need milk) 5 packages Ramen noodles 2 (4?) cans chicken to put in noodles 4 or 5 breakfast microwave entrée things 1 loaf bread 1 jar peanut butter 1 jar jelly 1 package mandarin oranges (the snack packs) Hot cocoa mix On the 3d, 5 days ago, I bought him: 1 package of chicken nuggets 1 package (5-6) frozen chicken breast patties 1 package cheese slices 2 boxes pop tarts Yes...there's a serious lack of anything healthy. He won't eat anything healthy so there's no real reason to buy it. I told him no. I told him I'd bought enough food to last him until he got paid and if he gave it to other people that was not my problem. He said he hadn't...I'm so sure he wasn't letting the guy that was staying with him eat...and I said, "Well, I bought you sufficient food, I suggest you go to the food pantry. There's one right down the street." I told him we'd all be talking on Saturday, but that we weren't buying anything else. I also suggested that when he returns his uniforms and picks up his paycheck tomorrow, he try begging for his job back. Then I went back to work. Luckily, I had people on hold, so I had an excellent excuse to hang up. I wish I felt better about all this. I was happier yesterday when I was filled with righteous indignation about being duped. Now I'm reading about Asperger's and feeling more tired and sad and kind of ... not mean... unfeeling I guess. And I need to work. I really, really, need to work! He's not the only one who would use the "It's not my fault". I know that "It's not his fault" would creep into my thinking. [/QUOTE]
