[QUOTE="JulieAnn, post: 658185, member: 19071"] Wow. Big lesson here. You all are so right on. The Master Manipulator, a.k.a. Difficult Child, really got me this time. It was pretty much a big fake out. I called the hospital. No one there by that name. SHOCKER! (Not). He may have gotten his leg cleaned up somewhere but that's it. I asked him to text me a picture of his hospital bracelet. He say's "Sure! and the Dr wants me to stay off my leg so can I get a room until Tues when the rehab bed is available"? Send me the picture. Waited. I never got one. Then he tried to get a week of a motel from his sister. I left out all the crying, pleading, begging. The [I]minute [/I]that he saw I wasn't going to budge, the crying miraculously stopped. He's too good to go to the shelter. Really? The street is better? "I can't get local assistance unless I have an address". The SHELTER IS AN ADDRESS. Geezzzz. This time, I'm only out 3 nights and a pizza. I'm getting a little quicker thanks to you all! [/QUOTE]
