[QUOTE="Elsieshaye, post: 469536, member: 12928"] Sometimes you just have to laugh, because it's less likely to result in a trip to the ER than punching a wall will: So, DS calls me while I'm at a work meeting. I ignore until I'm done, then checked the message. Superficially-polite-but-really-entitled-and-snotty message about needing his glasses/contacts and deodorant. I had packed all that stuff up for him anticipating such a call, so called him back and arranged to have him come over at around 7 to pick it up. I plan on just handing it to him through the barely open door and asking him when he anticipates that he'll be able to have someone pick up the rest of his stuff. (He wants a friend to store it for him.) I'm ok with storing some of his things for him, like the dresser, desk and books, for up to 6 months, but want my dining room back fairly soon. There's no room down in our building's storage units in the basement. There are Al-Anon meetings on Mondays near my house, and I have therapy on Saturday mornings. I definitely will use both to make sure I don't cave in, and that I can make consistent decisions about how to handle things as they come up. (I predict that my therapist is going to get whiplash from the speed of events between last Saturday, when I told him that I wanted to use therapy to work on setting limits with DS with the end-goal of getting him out of the house, and tomorrow. Last week already feels like a parallel universe.) [/QUOTE]
