kind of smug
My AddictedStepSon is moving out this week. I have the day off, told him I was going to clean. Last night, while "celebrating" the election, he asked if I would go out to breakfast with him in the morning, just us. Then we could come home, he would start packing while I clean. I was going to say no, that if I didnt start cleaning first thing in the morning, I would never start, lets go to dinner instead, BUT I remembered who I was talking to. Ok, breakfast would be nice. He said 10 am. OK
Well, Its 11:05. I have already washed clothes, cleaned the kitchen and cleaned out the utility closet. The old me would have just sat and waited for him to get up, or even woken him up....only to hear "I dont remember saying anything about breakfast"
He's leaving at the end of the week, his Addicted in Recovery Dad returns sometime this month.

When he wakes up, if he remembers, he'll ask why you didn't wake up him. I can hear that tape playing like it's in my own home LOL! I finally learned to move on with my own life too because it's the only one I have. Good for you!

Golly, I can relate to this.
I ALWAYS have a plan B when my addict wants to do something together. She showed up about 1% of the time. She stopped asking why I didn't call.
I do think that the more often I didn't make an issue of it, the more she began to realize that she wasn't making good on her commitments. In the end it didn't matter because she was using again and ended up in trouble with the law.
Oh well, at least you got your cleaning done.. Good for you!!!
