[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 742866, member: 23349"] Isn’t it funny how they see things? I don’t talk about my financial situation with mine, because they also seem to think if I have money in the bank it should be no problem to give it to them. I’ve realized since they are short term thinkers for their own lives - not looking ahead further than tonight’s dinner and cigarettes or tomorrow’s due date on the rent payment - the concept of planning for retirement or having and emergency fund is them. Every day is an emergency in their world. Tomorrow is too far away to think about. I’m glad you are working on detaching. Developing and holding firm boundaries and not allowing yourself to be bullied are excellent therapy goals. [/QUOTE]
