[QUOTE="hopeandjoy66, post: 660241, member: 18181"] Okie, I think you are doing great. He is 43 years old man. You are not responsible for his stupidity. Sorry if that sounded harsh, but what makes him think he is entitled to use your triple A plan. Did he pay for it? I suspect not. Your so right, that he needs to grow up. At 43 both my kids were out of the house attending U and I was a middle aged mom starting my empty nest days. I am not sure that he will learn this or not, but giving into his requests will not make this any better. I know that pit in your stomach is bothering you, you have done nothing wrong here. He should be the one with a few worries and a big knot in his stomach . Good for you for sending the ER bills back. They aren't your responsibility. Don't talk to him on the phone if that isn't what you want. He is going to try to work on your soft heart. Play it safe and don't respond. I know it is hard for a mom to stand her ground and not help out her son, but by you taking care of any of these things for him is not helping. It is enabling. Take what you want and leave the rest. Don't worry about the what ifs or the maybes that run threw your mind, they may never materialize. [/QUOTE]
