cazzap06 Good luck, play their game and I hope you win! Much different here in the US.

ajarlson sounds like a good plan. Keeping your boundaries will help, they sound like perfectly acceptable boundaries. I've had people thinking I should "do" something for my mom, who was the enabler of my abusive alcoholic dad. I've even had hospital staff call me and scold me for not being there when she was in hospital. What they didn't know was that she was a confirmed hypochondriac and how physically and mentally abusive she was, allowing my dad to beat us and joining in. I called the doctor in charge and finally told him the whole story and said she was darn lucky anyone was even speaking to her. I berated him for putting her in the hospital every time she had a ache or pain and ordering up myriads of MRI's CAT scans and every test you can think of with 4 day stays on the medicare dime. They never found a thing wrong with her once. They never called again.
