TSquared2 and WenikiTiki~ Thank you both so much for the laughs! It's nice to be able to share a laugh with people who know what you are going through, not just trying to imagine the craziness of it all! In fact, when I got home from the gym tonight, and he was sitting in his usual spot in the living room watching tv, I looked over and almost laughed out loud thinking of the double flip off dancing around his room! LOL
WenikiTiki~ Sounds like your mom has some interesting ideas! Trust me I have thought of my share of mean things to do, and then I stop myself, and remember I was always taught to kill with kindness.... and recently my pastor said, "to be Jesus" to him (not sure how that is accomplished when he will barely speak to me, but I'm trying). For awhile I stopped doing any of his dishes until he finally remembered how to put them in the dishwasher, or actually did them himself. I only did that once, and then I decided, no, ya no what, wait. I will continue to do that, because guess what if/when he would leave, he's in for a rude awaking that the dishes do not mystically wash themselves, and the bathroom doesn't clean it's self, etc. Perhaps he will realize how much I did/do for him, maybe not, but either way, I know I did the right thing.
TSquared2~ Aside from DB and DR any other reading you found to be particularly good, or helpful to you? Always open to more reading material..... not that I don't have a HUGE stack of books to read already, but hey, what are a few more, right? lol.... I'm not addicted... I can stop any time... (that was my feeble attempt at humor)
