[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 688608, member: 18958"] Peg. Sometimes our kids need to see us as the bad guy, as at fault. It happens sooner or later to must of us. No parent is perfect. That is why it hurts so much. I believe it is normal to feel--I could have done better or different. It is not about us. Our children know in their hearts that we love them unconditionally with all of our hearts and souls. Let him be. Go about your life and living well. He is young. Personally, I believe about 20 percent of what I hear from psychologists. Everything will come out in the wash. I do not necessarily buy the diagnosis or the permanence of it, because I have seen with my own eyes how people change. Well kids get ill. Ill kids get better. Nor do I buy anything your son or anybody else says about you as his mother. He had his say. Let him be. Tomorrow is another day. He is working. Good for him. He has a girlfriend. Good for him. Honestly, I am mad at that therapist who I do not think should have participated in something so hurtful. It is one thing had he been an adolescent. But 26 years old? Please be kind to yourself. I hope you are back here for a while. Take care. [/QUOTE]
