[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 688986, member: 18958"] Yes. And punish us for even seeking accountability, or more to the point, demanding it. I think this means that we have turned a corner. While it does not feel as such, we are winning. He is seeing that we will not tolerate the same old him. He is getting the cost: and refusing to pay. He is as if saying, if you do not let me pay with my currency, I will not pay to play. It really is a power play is it not. He is saying, my rules or nothing. My way or the highway. And he is off to the highway. I really wonder what he is thinking. Because there is really no more safe or comfortable place to go. Who knows what the future will bring. I almost expect him at my door tonight. I don't know what I will do. It does not much help to think it through. I think I know where he went from here. He must have gone to the library at a community college a 10 minute walk from here. There are freely available computers. An automated phone call came here, saying he was trying to re-set his password for another college, where he had enrolled in a class. Honest to G-d, I do not know how to do this because he shows up at my door. M is disgusted because again, he left the room where he is staying dirty and full of trash. No matter how many times you tell him, it makes no difference. Because, after all, it is about power, is it not? He says: you have no power over me, or over your space when I am here. Autonomy without responsibility. Those are his rules. What are mine for me and my own space? [/QUOTE]
