Right up until he was 26 I took care of his finances - he didn't have a bank account - and his car insurance. |

There was a mess up over a car repayment and he went berserk and blamed me. |

We had a terse conversation recently when he said he'd have me put in jail for fraud. But one day he has got to wake up and smell the coffee. |
`terse' is a possible value of Affect, though it is presented as a quality of the `conversation' rather than the emotional state of those involved in the conversation |
I am gullible and loving. As a child Marshall was never spanked and I never raised my voice to him. The real problem is not that he had a hard time but that he resents I sheltered him so much from the real world. When he got a job as a chef, who taught him to cook? Me. When he fell out with his friends, who resolved it? Me. I am guilty of loving my son too much. There is nothing I can do now to stop him belittling me. But one day he will be my Marshall again. When he grows up.
