[QUOTE="LauraH, post: 744365, member: 22877"] But you're right about one thing. The Facebook thing is the least of my concerns. An apology would probably be just empty words, even though he is such a great actor he could make it sound oh so sincere and from the heart. At this point, I'm not buying it. (But I do want one just the same). The litmus test is...what is he willing and able to do for himself? So far not much, if anything. One NA meeting and one stint in a psychiatric stabilization unit. In almost two months that's all he's accomplished. And now he has a job at Pizza Hut that he started yesterday. Part time or full time I don't know. How long that will last is anybody's guess. I don't know if he will have the ***** to show up at our door tonight or not. I'm half expecting him to. I'm unsure how I'll react if he does. Last night was a one-off...at least as far as my husband and I are concerned. He asked my son what he planned to do "tomorrow night" (tonight) and the night after that, etc. My son told him that now that he knows his work schedule he can make whatever arrangements he needs to with his "roommate" (I say roommate because I'm tired of typing "the friend he's supposedly staying with" lol). If he shows up tonight with some cock and bull story, I hope my husband and I, especially I, have the fortitude to tell him "too bad." Maybe if he complains about the cold we'll give him an extra jacket and a blanket, same as I would do for any homeless person stuck out on the street. None of that may even happen. Lord, I hope not. I'm just rehearsing in my mind what I hope we will do if it comes to pass. I'm not Catholic but there's a Catholic church nearby (where the Nar-Anon meetings are held) that seems to have a huge outreach ministry. I am planning on calling or visiting them tomorrow to see if I can talk to the priest and/or see if they have spiritual counseling (on a sliding scale) that I could start. My son has stolen my Christmas spirit...correction, I've allowed him to...and that is not acceptable. If I don't do anything else, I am going to break out mother's 76 year old Nativity and focus on the real importance of Christmas, as well as feel closer to my mother.
