Thanks OT... you sure you didn't my text by mistake? Not sure what the time panic was for... I guess I didn't really want to get a follow-up one from her. The first set me aside enough.

Anyway, I went with a response on my own after just thinking about it for a while... though it was eerily similar to what you said. I came to a place where it was about SS and about me.

I also offered it as a gift... and said that I would take him. If I'm going to pay for it I want the chance to spend some time with him. And I told her it was my gift to him... no need to pay me back.

I had a line about how I'm sorry she's struggling. Then I took it out. Not because I'm not sorry, but because that's not my role.
