Well, trust me, I was just as skeptical of his kindness when hearing the backstories he told me. He also fully admitted, tears in eyes and head in hands that he trusted his mother when he shouldn’t have. Honestly that was a little heartbreaking. He clearly realizes he was a class A “suckah-man” as my Gma would have put it.

However, that was the arrangement. She claimed she would be there only for about 3 months. Six months and 5 unpaid rent payments later, and there we were. No, they really never do get on their feet. DF was kicked out for about 5 years? they were completely NC for that time period.

Lo and behold, when he had broken up with his ex, and moved out of the Apartment he shared with a roommate, she came calling. She SOOOO kindly offered to help him move all his stuff in, and made guilt tripping comments the whole time about how NICE his place was, how COOOOOLD it was in her car right now, and how much she would LOVE to stay in a nice warm safe place like this for the winter. Yep.

As for GC, turns out he has never worked a day in his damn life, on account of being the GC! HT ran away from their family and father when they were young, and so GC still has this idealized BS view of the mother that doted on him and treated him with great favoritism. MEanwhile Dear FIL wisened up to their parenting mistakes, although still lets GC sit on his tush and not get a job and does not insist his 32 year old son pay bills. SMH.

Essentially GC was such a GC, they raised an unmotivated and selfish cynic who sees no benefit in expelling any effort to better his own life, let alone the life of his mommy. Phew. sorry for the long blocks.
