I know I need to do that Pat. He sneaks it in. We'll be talking about the kids and school and next thing I know he's telling me that "TODAY is tax day, you'd better file that extension. I got mine paid." So I'm thinking, "OK, he just paid a few thousand $$ to the IRS, better tell my son not to demand too much this weekend."

At least I have a safe haven where I can come and spill my guts instead of spewing it at him now. Can anyone say "self-defeating behavior" when you try to reason with a controller and manipulator? A couple of bad decisions on my part and I'll forever be branded the crazy one.

After I got off the phone yesterday, I realized that a lot of his end of the conversation didn't really stick in my brain. Makes me question if all those things I thought I heard years ago really are my imagination.
