[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op he is being unreasonable and as you say his requests are coming in every other day and when you don't give in to his demands he hangs up on you or goes into a rage.

He is going to manipulate you and use you because that's what personality disordered people do.  It doesn't sound like he has changed and the likelihood of him changing is not good.

You need to protect yourself.  When you are being manipulated you will feel guilty and confused.  You have set your boundaries, you paid for his therapy now he needs to sort out the rest. Continue to give for his birthday and Christmas only.

He can get cheap clothes or Goodwill, he is choosing not to.  Stand strong and take a massive step back.[/quote]

This, OP. The manipulation will take you down. We had a similar situation in my family, but it was my uncle. My mother suffered for years until she passed. My aunt? She put up strong boundaries from the get-go and never doubted herself. Good luck. It will be hard and you’ll probably feel guilty for a bit, but in time you’ll realize you’re protecting your own mental health and the well-being of your family. All the best.[/quote]
