And, yes Job... he's trying to manipulate. Not out of some sneaky plan though... He's trying to manipulate to FEEL better. It's still all about HIM.
He is trying the old stuff. HE tells me he misses me and so forth and it buys him time to use his drugs and wait on getting the help he needs. His family, in his mind, is still waiting for him.
It's all about buying time with the drugs. Sadly, what used to work with me, doesn't work anymore and he is feeling this reality that he may have lost us forever. All of us.
