[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by trainluver1 Thanks for all the great advice and so forth gsetter. I mean that. You could have just read it all, laughed and moved on like a lot of people have probably done.[/quote] I've been there brother. I know exactly what you are experiencing. [quote]QUOTE: One day moma's going to be gone, and he's going to have to make his own living and way through life[/quote] He'll have to grow up fast when she does. He will probably inherit her home and that will be a big reality check. I hope he has family. Let me guess his age. 35'ish? [quote]QUOTE: I don't really think he's the type that would hurt himself or someone else, but then that's been said before only to find out otherwise.[/quote] I didn't think so. You said he should get steering on his car fixed. I was concerned he get into an accident. [quote]QUOTE: He puts on this tough guy, vulgar mouth front, yet he's as fragile as can be.[/quote] Like a barking dog. If a dog wants to bite you and he has the chance, he will! He's not going to warn you first. [quote]QUOTE: Like you said, he pours himself into the train hobby in order to avoid all other issues in life.[/quote] Actually Tom said that and I just reflected on it. [quote]QUOTE: ... Just wish me luck that I'll get away from him soon and back to my own quiet life...[/quote] Yes, good luck with that. Just let him know you don't have time and recommend someone else. After all, you're not his father and you didn't raise him. It's sad though that he's like that. It's fun and rewarding to teach someone who wants to learn. [quote]QUOTE: I had a really bad head injury back in 1981 on a construction job and had seizures for about three years. I'm normally real quiet and reserved, and not really up to dealing with someone like this.[/quote] My God! I should say not. You probably more empathetic towards people after having to deal with the seizures. Experiencing pain and suffering will do that. I do volunteer work at an animal shelter. As hard as we try, we just can't save them all. Same with people. Either they have to save themself or by a higher power.
