[quote=Anonymous]OP, you need to separate "being kind" from "giving someone everything they ask for." You can kindly say, the next time he asks for money, "Sorry honey. I wish I could help, but after having to pay to fix the mower and scrounge together money for your lawyer, we don't have any spare money to give. But hey, I wish you the best of luck in finding a solution." Stop paying for things for that boy. Stop giving him money. Do not lay out money for anything. Do not accept his promise to pay you back. He will never pay you back. By the way, this will not go over well with him. He will throw a man-temper tantrum. When he does, you smile sadly at his lame attempts to manipulate you, and say, "I'm sorry you feel that way. Well, take care. I'll walk you out. Bye bye now." and then you close the door. [/quote]
