Re: Request for Wednesday crisis slot due to need for help setting firm boundary.
PWS called from jail twice Saturday. I had to be the one to tell him about no longer welcome to stay with me and that I’ve been clearing out furniture and packing his things. He doesn’t understand my ‘sudden action,’ and he wants ‘one month’ at apartment to get situated (and he thinks if things go well, I will change my mind and let him stay longer). Says he didn’t know I was unhappy—yet earlier this week he suspected I might be mad at him (shows he knew his behavior affected me). I didn’t agree to his coming back; but I couldn’t say a clear NO about apartment either. I put money on books at his request. I will call PO Monday for clarity.
I feel manipulated and guilty.
His breath tester is beeping—an annoying reminder of whole situation. Need help saying NO firmly without having an over the top emotional outburst that makes me look unstable. Want Wednesday crisis slot—will call your office Monday to check availability. Friday is far away.
