[QUOTE="SadAndStressed4TooLong, post: 646000, member: 18714"] Hi Raylea: I have to agree with Hope_Floats. It seems that you already have to "lie" to people about him by making him out to be a better person than he is. I don't know how long you've been together, but in the situation you've describe, my suggestion would be to do what's best and least stressful for you and your son. If there needs to be a screaming match in order for you to take the truck for the weekend, that is a red flag. I'm the kind of person who hates to be alone, but really, in the long run it sounds like this guy is causing you more harm than good. I really hope you take the truck, spend the trip time with your son, and that the "storm" isn't too bad when you let your boyfriend know this. I have an adult son who has attempted suicide in the past (serious attempts), so believe me, I know how you feel when you say "just in case I don't see him again". And please don't let this guy cause you to withdraw from your family. My father did the same thing to my mother, and in retrospect I know she wished that she didn't allow that to happen. Please keep us posted. I will be thinking of you. :staystrong: [/QUOTE]
