[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 597317, member: 1721"] Thank you, Signorina. Perhaps that is how husband is looking at things, already. His only comment was: "I'm not sending it Western Union ~ a third of it will go for the fee." He had me make out the check for the storage unit without batting an eye. He refuses to just go have the lock cut off and take her things out of there. I thought we should have done that right after we got home. Which would be illegal, without difficult child there. Which we can never quite get together to do. So that stupid storage unit has become a symbol of the futility of the whole situation. You are right. I need to look at it that way. When I am not furious with difficult child, I love her very much. I do need to remember what it felt like when we weren't doing anything for her. That was worse. It's hard to keep my head straight. I resent the situation so much. It feels like we are helping that jerk (The man, who doesn't have a penny to his name and has probably never held a job in his life.) and supporting difficult child in a dangerous, dead-end lifestyle when she isn't doing the things we feel might help her. So that's a control issue, right? Thinking about that measly $30 (Soon to be $20 ~ that was good thinking.) a week as something we pay to keep ourselves sane is how I need to look at it. I don't know what I would do without this site, and all of you. Barbara [/QUOTE]
