Ben, don't get me wrong. I am not trying to get a rise out of him. Honestly, I would love to help him out but am choosing not to. I would love to be there for him and help but I do want him to see that he is going to have to do these things on his own. Yes, I am sure I will find that I am not totally doing this just for me. I AM trying to get him to see what I have to offer him and that he needs to come home. But I am also trying to cut things off for myself.
My former self would have gotten upset right along with him and would have said, "Tell me what you have in your wallet so that we call everyone." But I didn't. I did call him back to ask if he filed a police report.
I am doing this for myself but I am hanging in here in the background. Remember, the door is still cracked.....
