[QUOTE="LauraH, post: 746905, member: 22877"] I just got off the phone with my son. His cell is dead but he was calling me from a hospital in Orlando (I'm in Daytona Beach). He wanted me to send him money, either to help him get back to Daytona or to buy a phone charger, I'm not sure. Moot point, because I have $30 to last me until I get my March SS payment. I didn't explain that to him, just simply said no. His response: "So you're okay with me being stranded in Orlando?" My response: "First of all I had nothing to do with you being in Orlando in the first place. Second, you were okay with keeping Steve (my husband) and me out of the loop this entire time but now you want me in the loop because you need my help." He then hung up on me. I don't know what I will do/say when he manages to get back to Daytona. My husband is off today so hopefully we can have a three-way conversation about what we will accept if he's going to continue staying in our home and what is unacceptable. He appears to want our help with no strings and no conditions, and that's not going to happen. I don't know of one individual or organization that gives any kind of help without at least some conditions attached and we are no different. He's already managed to alienate my affection, and there have been times in recent weeks when I've had to remind myself that he's still my son and I still love him. I'll update when I see how this is going to play out. [/QUOTE]
