yikes. well unfortunatly it sounds like your stuck with the bill. go ahead and sell his xmas gifts, if he hasnt shown up to get them yet, then they arent important to him. definatly shut off the phone! and never never allow him to use your name for anything again. if it happened once it WILL happen again. as far as his girlfriend...sadly thats just something you will have to learn to deal with, if she's the one he's chosen, thats that. but at least it sounds like you dont have to come in contact with her often. lets hope that he sees the light soon and realizes the wall he has built between you and he. we all must learn from our mistakes. no matter how hard a lesson it is. i understand that $250 is a lot, but i agree with your daughter in law. if you do take him to court it will surely sever any ties with him. and will make him feel incredibly betrayed. you dont want that if you hope to have him back in your life. good luck!

Thanks for the reply back......I still call him but he doesnt answer my cals he acts as if im not here you know so wahtevr....... i wont call him anymore now......i have decided that i am going to go ahead and just take and have a yard sale and then try to save our phones that way with his things included inthe sale to teach him a valuable lesson i may have to do my other 2 children dont say anything cept to do what i have to do i dont think iw ll go as far as going to court but i already know i have lost my son as long as hes with her once we m ove then i will never hear from him again i suppose and question for you by seeing your pic do you read tarot cards? me leaving state in 2 months i will never ever have to deal wtih her my youngest son is moving to the state right next door to us.....where we are moving to where my daughter is at my son who has a lost soul right now dont know where he will end up feel bad seling his things but on the other hand if i knew this was gonna happen then i would of kept more of his belongings here to be able to make sure that i had enough to sell the phone was in my name he had one of the cells and then good thing to that i didnt ok his girlfriend to get a cell phone in my name to huh what a blessing hat was when i said no to that i have had the phone itself back noew for quite some time since beginning of december he says he doesnt owe it so whatever i think i will try to find ut her parenst mailing address and mail them a copy of the bill so they can see what a liar my son is and all mayeb then they will make him pay his debt seeing how he lives with them anyways talk to you soon i hope are you a tarot reader?
