Mopsey, He's depressed and nothing is turning out the way he thought it would. Glamour, fame, happy go lucky lifestyle, etc.--none of it has happened.
Well, he's just going to have to deal w/that credit card himself. I know that you are trying to help him w/it, but if it's in his name, he's going to have to cough up some dough to help w/the payment. He's not really forgotten about goingto the bank to sign for this card, he's pulling your chain about it. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he's thinking that if he screams enough about you signing his name on the dotted line, that you'll throw up your hands and say "forget it, I'll pay the bill myself". Mine did that a few times until I caught on to what he was doing. If he doesn't pay the bill, it's on him and his credit will be ruined, not yours. Do what you can, but don't expect him to follow through on this unless you have something legal in place.
Unfortunately, no he's not ready to hit bottom. He's really just taking off good. He's depressed and he knows he's going to be another year older, etc. He's having a pity party and wants you to feel bad for him too. Don't. He's got to go through this crisis and learn to face those issues and grow up. Go ahead and give him the gifts, for he will open them and look at them another day.
What he told the C is what his reality is right now about the D and the ow. Next month, he could feel differently. I'm sorry to say.
Mopsey, you've got to step outside the boxing ring and allow him to spar w/himself. You've done all you can. Now, you must take care of your children and yourself.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
