[QUOTE="Joyfullyme, post: 665178, member: 19400"] Well, he has been "finding a phone" to call me on daily. The number has been the same number on several occasions, so he is using someone's phone that he is with. However, he always tells me that he had to "find" a phone from a stranger to use. Sheesh. He must think I am such an idiot. 2 days ago he called me in the evening and asked me for money because he had no food. I said no and reminded him about all the services around him and the places (that he actually told me about) that provide meals each day. He told me it was too hard to get to via bus, he has not Orca card since he is off the methadone, etc. I told him if he was hungry enough, he'd get there. He told me how his feet are blistered and his clothes are wet from the rain. I just made those "Mmmmm" noises. Then I got off the phone and cried. I just want him to STOP this. He called yesterday and didn't really say much - just let me know how awful his life is. I made all the appropriate noises and also asked how his stuff was going with social services/disability - there are some things he needs to do to move the process forward. He said he is too busy to work on it. Really??? Busy doing WHAT? When we were getting off the phone (we only talk for 2-3 minutes max) I told him to not stress out about calling me every day. He got puffed up about that, saying it was just "effing" nice to be able to talk to SOMEONE. I said, that is fine - if you can call me, that is fine. But if you can't, that is ok, too. Then I told him I loved him and hung up. What happened to me saying to him to not contact me unless he was doing something to change this situation??? Somehow I ALWAYS get sucked back into this crap. And, funnily enough, as he was talking to me, I heard the loooonnng sound of a zipper - sort of like a zipper on a tent opening - not a zipper on a backpack. But he told me his tent was destroyed. I don't believe anything he tells me anymore. I keep saying to myself, "either he will make it, or he won't". The horrible truth is, I just want him to leave me alone. There. I said it. [/QUOTE]
