[QUOTE="tryingtobestrong, post: 758009, member: 22817"] Thank you everyone! So many of what you all said I feel too. I can't beat myself up because my feelings are normal after being through so much what I call trauma. The calls in the middle of the night, the manipulative calls, the belittling and degrading calls, etc. I expressed my fears to my husband today about our trip to see our son and his answer was "cancel the trip"... All because I said I don't want to sit in the car and drive around for 3 days like we did 3 years ago because our son was extremely overweight and would not walk on the trails of the National park we were visiting. I am not cancelling just yet. I realize if he switches jobs I need to somehow say that he can't look to us to help him because we have our own bills plus we gave him enough of help all these years... (only for him to make the same choices over and over) Even if he doesn't switch jobs, we can't be paying off his copays, etc. He chooses to use and then needs the ER so why should we have to pay... Sad, for how intelligent he is that he doesn't see what he is doing to his financial future and his health. [/QUOTE]
