abuse, not at all! you are here for help. there are plenty of people here who want to help, so take full advantage of that for yourself. please, take it as a lesson towards putting yourself first for a change.
as for the money, this is a hard one. have you told him previously you were not an ATM or anything like that as a boundary? if so, then NO MONEY, period.
Are you going to give him the money with an expectation that it is going to change his mind, curry favor for your, have him look at you in a different light, or anything else [do you have expectations that it will help your situation]?
OR are you doing it because it is 'the right thing to do' in your opinion. What does he NEED it for? will this be the end of the requests for more money (to me, 200 bucks is not a lot of dough in the grand scheme of things, will he be back for more)?
Not trying to tell you what to do, please don't think that...I am just trying to look at this at a different angle than what has been presented already.
