[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 694639, member: 15801"] I have gotten clear for a while that only he can decide if he wants to be sober....so i have been trying just to give him loving support that a mother can give... and when he is seemingly working on sobriety that is good. But I think now he is not working on sobriety thinks he can drink or smoke pot moderately and so will totally use us to do that. He is on a very slippery slope and I don't want to help him slide down any faster. And truth is it is time for hm to support himself and not depend on us to constantly back him up and help him. And he is a master manipulator (as DarkWing says) and I need to remember that.... He has not called since the other day which says to me he got the message from my reaction that I wasn't going to give him anything so he is not asking at the moment. He knows I like to hear from him and generally will reach out to him when I haven't heard from him so I think we are playing a waiting game right now. If I reach out to him then he will see his opportunity and ask me for money. I have decided at this point that i am just going to wait it out. Hopefully in the mean time he will get more work.
