[QUOTE="Lil, post: 643556, member: 17309"] Maybe he is grateful, maybe he's not. I actually told him at one point I wanted to hear a freaking "Thank You!" I really didn't help. :( Truthfully, I'm very on edge anymore whenever he's around. The nerves are shot and I'm kind of excitable anyway. I once said I thought I was a calm person...Jabber laughed at me. Really, I used to consider myself pretty sedate. lol But my son gets his temper from me and I've just been close to freaking out for weeks so every little thing sets me off. I'm amazed I can still deal with people at work...I know the clerical staff is not getting my best. I need to buy them all candy or something. :( I can't say I'm not nervous and pretty unsure about this whole thing. But you know, if he's set up my conscience, which (stupidly) has been bothering me for the last two months, will be clear. He will have a place of his own where he can sleep, eat, live and it isn't that we just tossed him out with the clothes on his back, although I agree he deserved it. He has every chance to make it. Unlike the shelter, he can live his own life, doesn't have to worry about his stuff being stolen. If he hangs with druggies or thieves, it's because he wants to...not because he has nowhere else to be. It's on him...really on him...and if he fails I will have no problem saying, I'm done. (Well, less problem...as it is now, it was just too much. The problem of keeping his job and finding a way to sleep was just pretty much insurmountable. We remove that problem and the rest then is up to him.) I think it really has been kind of bad. Hopefully, this will have been his wake-up-call. Maybe I will finally be able to be back to the person I was before this. I know I've changed. I know I'm not ... nice. I'm not as pleasant to be around. I want my life back. I think it's safe to say this is as much for me as for him. [/QUOTE]
