[QUOTE="Lil, post: 704140, member: 17309"] Oh Copa - I don't mean that I don't want to hear from him! I'd give anything to keep getting calls like I got the other day, just calling to tell me he had the best hamburger ever. What I dread is [I]THAT [/I]call. The "I'm helpless and alone and I need you to rescue me" call. The "screaming and crying and threatening dire consequences if I do nothing" call. He DOES love you. I'm sure of that. Both our son's love us. They just haven't got it in them to show us the way they should. Yes. I am NOT yet ready to stop entirely. I paid his phone for this month. Jabber, I know, wasn't happy about it. But, I HAD to do it. I had to do it for ME. I didn't make that payment for my son's benefit, but for my own piece of mind. Same with the sleeping bag I bought the other day. When I have to choose between helping him and telling him to stand or fall with no help, my fear of his falling wins. Heck, last year Jabber and I went to Vegas to avoid Christmas. lol But the holidays are by far harder than anything else. I should remember that he ruined so many Thanksgivings and Christmases when he was here...but instead I'm just sad and ... Scrooge-like. Bah Humbug. [/QUOTE]
