[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 701421, member: 1550"] I am one who freaks out (less now than before) at the threat even from my disagreeable grown child to cut me off. So I understand the fear. But I'm getting less concerned. Our relationship isn't two sided anyway. It's listening to him non stop (complaining and often abusing). I have three other kids, a sweet grand and a great husband. Lately I have been laying down the law and he is better for now. I am so done with being hung up on, sworn at, called names...i loved this person from the day he was born and tried to help him. I am in the best years of my life now...heading for retirement and travel. I refuse to let him treat me like trash anymore Yes, I still cringe a little of thinking of him cutting me off, but I will take that chance. It is unlikely to happen to either of us, me or you. Both of our grown kids need u.s, probably more than we need them. It's never to early to remember that we matter. And to demand respect. [/QUOTE]
