[QUOTE="slsh, post: 448104, member: 8"] MWM - my heart aches that the meeting went the way it did. I was hoping it would be a fresh start for all of you. I guess it is for you. It saddens me that he will not allow a fresh start for himself with his family, and that he carries all of this baggage with him. Please - don't be hard on yourself for the "nastygrams". They didn't cause this situation and, knowing you, I doubt they were actually "nasty"; were probably more the appropriately hurt feelings of a mother. I think you should be proud of the fact that you did raise him to be a successful, productive man - and I wouldn't take much stock in his revisionist recollection of family history. He's obviously wound a little tightly, especially in terms of "family", but.... our kids are who they are. I'm truly sorry that he was so hurtful to you, but am glad that you have answers (of a sort). I'm especially glad you and your other kiddos got to end the trip on a positive note. Gentle hugs to you.
