I know - I feel stuck between a rock and a hard place though. He just lost his mother. It's very difficult for me to be harsh or cruel or cold or indifferent. If I were that way, I wouldn't be a human - I'd be inhumane. I am trying to show some amount of compassion for his loss, while also being firm with my boundaries. It's a tough tight rope to be walking along.
