That was kind of my thought. Other than not thinking he's lying...not that he hasn't lied about such easily provable things before...but in the end, it's up to him. That's what I meant when I said I'm done. No more money. We'll do the bare minimum we said we'd do. I expect set-backs. Job or not, I expect he'll ask for money. I expect he'll say he can't make it. I expect there will be tears (mine, mostly) and shouting (his, mostly). But we'll know when it happens.
I have no response to this. LOL!!!
I wrote my son a letter once, for his 18th birthday, and in it I told him that a mother's love for her child is a fierce and primal love...that while men love their children, it's simply different for women because they are literally a part of you. So if I seemed too overbearing, if I pushed to much, to bear with me. Wish I still had that letter - I was very eloquent. 
Yes, over and over he's said, "I just want things to be like they used to be." He has a real problem with things being different, even though they simply have to be.

We're watching Evan Almighty right now. My favorite part is on:
"God: Let me ask you something. If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? If he prayed for courage, does God give him courage, or does he give him opportunities to be courageous? If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings, or does he give them opportunities to love each other?"
From the first time I heard this it resonated with me. So...I think today I'm going to try to think of all this as opportunities. At least for a while.
