[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 622336, member: 17720"] BITS, my reaction is very similar to the others. I saw a real sense of entitlement topped with a pity play. I think Cedar's response to him is best, basically "Whatever you say, difficult child. Love you." Nothing to argue with there! I just wanted to add that husband and I agonized for months about whether or not to turn off difficult child's cell phone. It was really the only way I knew he was ok because he never contacted us unless he needed something. Plus I couldn't imagine what he would do if he were hurt, stranded, etc. Someone pointed out to me that cell phones with no service can still be used to call 911, so at least I would know he could get help in an emergency. But ultimately that didn't matter, because when we finally did disconnect it, it took him all of 1 week (!!!) to get himself on food stamps and get a free cell phone. My difficult child is selectively very resourceful. [/QUOTE]
