Let the Quacking Begin

I came home from work this morning (work nights) and one of my AS was parked in my driveway.....wanting to wash clothes so he can find a job. I noticed he was not acting "normal" and told him no! He began stating how bad his luck is, then changed to telling me what a sorry exuse for a person I am and how I never loved him, nobody cares, how intelligent he is....on and on. I didn't respond except to say...you have to leave, which he did. I also added, don't come back, but I have a feeling he will be back and it won't stop until I get the police involved. Just didn't want to have to deal with that this morning, since I have to work again tonight and needed sleep.

I was pretty shaken up afterward, but I held strong. I know this much, I can't go back to what I was living in. I got on my knees and asked God to take care of him and give me peace of mind.

PLease pray for my family as I pray for yours.

Huggs,
Hope

Always praying, hope. Do you live alone? That always concerns me when people don't have someone sane and supportive under the same roof with them. I hope you have such people nearby.

I am so sorry you had to deal with this after a long night's work. It is just so draining. I hope you eventually got some rest and that your AS did not return. I also hope you call the police if you have to. It just sucks.

Sending some peace and mama hugs your way.

Isn't it a coincidence how addicts all have such bad luck? Stay strong, you're in my thoughts and prayers.

If he is so intelligent....then he is smart enough to figure out someplace else to wash his clothes.

Ugh....I remember these days with my daughter.

So sorry you had to have that in your life today.

you're in my prayers, Hope. You did what you needed to do - you did what is best for you - your real son is in there somewhere beneath the addict but as you have learned, you can't let the addict run your life. The addict is saying those awful things against you to try and get his way, not the real being who is your son. Hugs!!!

Glad you stood firm. Eventually the quacking should die down.

well remind him that whinging and tantrums are now an olympic sport and that you can see that he is very much dedicated to becoming the best in his field.

great to hear you stuck to your guns no matter how hard it was.

Ok....the Olympic sport comment cracked me up. lol

But seriously, your boundary was firm and clear. Good job! I understand how these interactions can rattle a person. But you didn't let him see you sweat and that's HUGE!

gentle hugs

(((Hope))) Oh, that must have been so difficult all the way around. I understand how you are feeling and I'm sorry. You are not his only option. He was testing you, y'know...and you stood firm in your boundary!! I am really impressed! You are an inspiration! Look how far you have come!!!!
