Hello. This is my first post and hoping to get advice....
My son is 41yo and on medicaid. He has had a lot of mental health issues over the years. We do not live close to one another. (he lives closer to the ex). He is also a habitual liar. (part of the mental health issue).
We do try and stay in contact, via text and occasionally phone calls.
On several occasions, at Christmas, he has sent "gifts" that I guess I should be grateful for. He sent gift again this year, but I have just had enough. The gift was a music cd that you could purchase on ebay for maybe $1.25, however, this cd was not even a NEW one, sealed in cellophane. It was obviously a used cd and he tried squeezing it into an envelope with a card. Upon arrival, of course, the cd was totally shattered. I am just fed up and hurt ....he more than likely purchased this at a garage sale . He does not work, but he is NOT destitute in the least. His father routinely gives him $$. (he does not work)
I have not responded to him recently as I am hurt and fed up.
I no I need to say something to him, but am at a loss as to what to say. He is careless and thoughtless and I am just at the end of my rope....
Any suggestions would be appreciated....
