[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 660475, member: 17720"] Oh SS, I'm sorry. I am sure it was so hard to hit that send button, even though you know it was the right thing to do, and really the ONLY thing to do. People change. It happens every day. But it didn't happen this time; you know that. If things were different this time, the contact from him wouldn't have gone down the way it did. He is in a bind and needs someone to rescue him and has nowhere else to turn. We've all seen this part of the show before. Maybe someday he will GET it. I so hope and pray that he does, that he sprouts a new frontal lobe or whatever it is that they are lacking when they think it is okay to treat their PARENTS, the ones who put up will all their CRAP all these YEARS, the way they have -- and still expect us to line up for more. But he's not there now, SS. I love this, SS. I love that you told him "No more...and I know you can do it." That faith in him is such a precious gift, whether he realizes it or not. I believe that even if our faith never strengthens them, it definitely strengthens us. I'm so glad you and Mr. SS got to get away for a couple of days. Hoping you have a peaceful and festive holiday weekend. [/QUOTE]
