[QUOTE="LauraH, post: 761834, member: 22877"] It is and it isn't. I will always love my son (as we all will always love our children no matter what) and I will let him hurt me...to a point...but I will not allow him to disrespect me, abuse me, take advantage of me and con me. While I would like to think that he called me out of remorse, there was no indication of that as he never mentioned one word about what transpired between us last Tuesday and Wednesday. Plus the fact that he let it be known that he was in dire financial straits...like he thought I was going to jump up and offer to send him money? Not a chance. He actually called me a second time for the same reason. Same result, I did not bite the bait. Even before everything hit the fan last week I would not have sent him any significant amount of money because I can't trust that he would do what he said he needed it for. That's the saddest thing of all to me, that it looks like I can never have a mutually loving trusting relationship with my only child. And just to be clear, when we paid his rent for him after he hadhis accident, I sent the money directly to his landlord, for reasons mentioned above. I am glad we are on speaking terms again, but if his intention was to pull me down the rabbit hole again and get me sucked into helping mode (even through a third party, i.e., paying his creditor rather than sending him the money, he is barking up the wrong tree [/QUOTE]
