Maya Angelou: “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.”
Believe people when they show you they are a grifter. And, remember, grifters are going to grift. You shouldn’t expect otherwise. Don’t be scandalized. Stop the grift. Don’t change, shame, or blame. Grifters won’t self-reflect or own their actions. They will gaslight. They will self-aggrandize. They will belittle others. Their goal is to aggravate and provide false solutions. Grifters are going to grift. Just believe it.

Absolutely right. Or as a famous quote goes: If you lend someone $20 and you never see them again, it was worth it.” Good post. I hope you and your son are doing as well as you can. Sending hugs.
