[quote=Anonymous]OP, so set your boundary now. Yes, you’ll get pushback as that is part of his illness and process. Have a meeting with his therapist and discuss how he can ask for things, with your boundary in place eg. He can’t ask for new things every other day, it must be compiled into a list once every week or two, or whatever. You won’t buy everything on the list, but you will help up to x dollars, and assist for 20 minutes in finding ways he can access the rest from his list using his own money or resources.

Stewing about him being ungrateful is just stirring up drama in your own Bain. Let it go. Set your boundary. Move forward with it. Stop focusing on the big things, like him getting a job in the future, and look at his small successes and allow yourself to reward both of you for that.

I know everyone is at the end of their rope with COVID, and you’ve probably been dealing with this for a long time, so it may also a good idea for you to have a few therapy appointments to he’ll let go of some of your resentments. He can’t heop his illness, as frustrating as that feels, and he can’t see that his requests are just making you mad. To him, they are legitimate needs, and he hopes to get better as much as you want him to get better. [/quote]
