Well thank you to all who responded to my post last night about the water in the gas tank.
Last night after my "A" came back he went out and used, sigh, and came back a few hours later drunk and stoned. But oddly enough we had experienced some wonderful communication. (Wow, scary, communication with an "A") He was upset about the car (hmmmmmmmmmmm really?) and said the car was toast(and since he used to work as a mechanic I took his word as fact. Wow when will I learn?) so that he could in his mind have another excuse to use. (Hmmmmmmmm does he really need one? No! He will anyway)
When he came home we talked about the car. It really isn't that bad. He has to drain the tank and fuel lines. So we are out a few bucks for some stuff he needs to put in it and a tank of gas (at $3.05 a gallon I don't like the sound of that) And the car will be fine. We are also going to get a locking gas cap . (Hmmmmmmmmm been asking for one of those for a while, now he sees the need for one, sigh)
So thank you to all who responded.
((((((((((((((((rtexas))))))))))))))))), thank you for your help. I was just wondering if he was just telling me what I wanted to hear, or the truth. So now I know. Thanks for that comfort.
((((((((((((((Jennifer)))))))))))))))))), you didn't upset me. I think I might have done the same thing. Thank you for trying to help. You did it out of kindness and I appreciate that.
You all are so great. Thanks for the support.
Much Love,

I'm so glad it will be ok! That is pretty much what my stepdad said to do too. I didn't really think you would be upset, and I am glad you are not It reminded me of the principle though! Take care!
