And they paid the first three insurance payments for him. He's has a couple of tickets and accidents, so his insurance is pretty high. In trying show him how he's not really saving any money in his whole grand scheme of things, it got to the point where I was saying to him
"Dont you see how this was not such a good idea?"
Yes, I see that.
"Well then, why cant you say it?"
I just did.
"Yeah, but in a round about way.."
Is admitting this out loud more for you or for me?
..I didnt know what to say. When I wrote him while he was in boot camp (he was about to leave for the air force), I admitted to him that I was wrong for doing that, and that he was right, it was more about me hearing him admit that he had made a mistake than it was about him acknowledging it personally. He called me in near tears, thanking me for it.
