[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 169686, member: 3626"] Sounds like a lot lying and manipulation goin on by everyone. I do understand Dude's priority being his word to his friend. I get it all the time from daughter. If I push really hard, she'll end up doing the right thing (by my definition) but, frankly, it's not worth the effort. If she chooses her friends over her responsibilities, it is her problem, not mine. Same with Dude. From what you've said, it sounds like no one is being totally honest with you -- not the CW, not Dude. My guess is they did talk and came up with a plan to guilt you into paying. I love the "I know it's my fault and I'll do the time." I can just hear the hangdog voice. I know I sound mean, but I've heard that manipulation once too often. It's why it is now a pat of the hand and I'm sure you'll figure something out, dear, response. Granted, Dude's situation is a little more dire than being without a roof over your head, but not by much. Jail and homelessness both sound awful and neither is what we dreamed of for our children. I hope Dude comes up with some answers. Even more, I hope he figures out that doing what is necessary is a little bit more important than making his friends happy. (If he ever does, let me know how he came to his conclusions. Would love to teach my daughter that one.) As it is, I wish you the best and hope all this drama doesn't totally stress you out. [/QUOTE]
