Thanks for all the support, when it starts to get to me I keep re-reading them. I’m trying to be really strong but find it difficult when he plays the sympathy card! He is now trying to persuade me to lend him money to buy a car which he claims will sort his problems out and make his life easier. I don’t see why I should help to make his life easier, he’s done wrong and has to pay the price so why do I feel like I’m doing the wrong thing by not handing over money? I know he’s using emotional blackmail but it breaks my heart having to be so tough. Despite this I am determined to stick to my guns and have told him I will help him look for work but as far as anything else he’s on his own.
