Well, so much for the confidence. I reverted to pattern this morning and can't really get out of it. Oh well.

Gabe sent me a text, which he hardly ever does unless it's something to do with Marc. The following convo happened:

G-How is your mom doing?
M-She will be in the hospital until at least 24NOV but she seems to be getting a little stronger. Thanks for asking.
G-That's good. Glad she is getting better. Life sucks sometimes though.
(Oh yeah...here it comes....bait dangle....Mish...BITE)
M-Yes it does, but we choose ow we let it affect us. Sorry you are having a rough patc.
G-It's been rough for a whie now.
M-Money trouble leads to lots of misery.
G-Yeah it does and I'm fed up and having crazy thoughtsI doubt I'd follow through wih.
(oh yeah...begging for the pity isn't he?)
M-I hope you wouldn't. When they come up just think of Marc. Would you be better off going back to California?
G-I've been thinking of that too but feel guilty if I left him
(uh...ok...you already left him...what's a few thousand miles?)
M-Don't let that be your deciding factor. He will be fine. As it is, he doesn't see you often. You need to take care of you.
G-Can you meet for lunch and talk?
(GOOD GOD - You know I'm a total sucker for someone in need even though this is the person that nearly destroyed me!!!)
M-Sure. I'll go at around 12:30
G-K.

So, I suppose I'm meeting him for lunch in about 30 minutes. Good GOD! I plan on just listening to him. I am not there to 'fix' anything for him, only to hear what is going on in his head and see how this is going to effect Marc. No more than that. This man can't be trusted and I am not a big enough glutton for punishment to be taken in by him ever again.

Oh the workings of a weak mind....
