Yeah, so mum finally moved into her nice sheltered bungalow in the weekend following my holiday, she actually moved on Saturday afternoon…
…and he basically moved from the small room to the large one that night. Now, I have to admit, my reaction was not exactly logical. I mean the small room is 6×5 and smaller than a cell, how could I not sensibly agree?
But…it felt a little like defeat…I got a bit silly and upset and he was all baffled as to why I wouldn’t think that him moving and getting comfy in the big room would be a problem for me…and he still says my offer is not enough to get him a decent place to live, cos I should not expect him to rent or anything, that’s dead money innit?
The frustration I am feeling at this point…I think it over and if I give in to his demand will he go?
It has been 11 months since I asked him to leave, and he won’t leave without an agreement on the money.
Remeber folks, it is my house, and he has paid (as someone pointed out to me) £13 per day for everything, for years, and yet he still manages to make me feel like I have an obligation and a responsibility to help him to be comfortably set-up for when he leaves…such are the long-term effects of the manipulation techniques of the Covert Narcissist.
