[QUOTE="Jabberwockey, post: 677405, member: 18238"] Don't say anything beyond what you normally would. When he asks for money, tell him "I love you, but no." When he asks why not, look at him quizzically and simply say "Seriously???". Then ignore his tirade. Yeah, sounds easy doesn't it? And you're not an idiot, you're a parent. We tend to believe their BS long after no one else does. Its part of unconditional love. Just remember that detachment is a lot like perfection. You never TRULY achieve it, you just eventually get to a point where you're satisfied with the outcome. [/QUOTE]
