[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 739610, member: 19522"] Hi Elsi, oh boy, sounds like mine awhile back. They would take turns. After some time of me sticking to my boundaries, that stopped. They ended up pretty much no contact because I would not cave. Until of course Tornado ended up in jail. Flurry of phone calls after being MIA for one year. Now she is no contact again because I didn’t fulfill her request (demands) for bail, supervised release, money, letters, photos, chocolates, shampoo. Sigh. Nothing is ever her fault either. I love them, but do not like them very much right now. Still pray for some kind of light bulb to go off, but am very leery because it’s always something when they do try to reach me. What a weird reality we live in. I get sad about the no contact, I really do miss them, but when they have come around, or called, it’s an odd encounter, makes me apprehensive and waiting for the next shoe to drop. It’s usually more of the same old same old. Am I jaded? Probably. I feel like more of an opportunity than their Mom. That’s a sad fact of the journey I am on. I am sorry it is similar for you. Stick to your boundaries. They have to learn somehow. We will not be around forever to rescue them. Do they think that money grows on trees for us? Don’t they know that we are slaving away for our hard earned limited funds? Ugh. Saving for the future when we can no longer work? It baffles me. :919Mad: (((Hugs))) Leafy [/QUOTE]
