[QUOTE="DDD, post: 590566, member: 35"] I'm just sending some caring hugs. Those of us with larger families have to adapt to the one's who "got away", so to speak. I never imagined that some of my children would pull away from me because, like you, I gave 100% to loving and nurturing and encouraging each of them to be the best they could be. None of them hate me but the son who pulled away evidently has no idea how much pain he has caused. I received an email this week from him. It was signed "Love, X" but truthfully MWM it had not one word of caring or interest in me...it could have been sent to you! Your son is in crisis. I am sorry. on the other hand, he really doesn't seem to have the capacity to care for you and the other family members. His world is all he sees and his thoughts are all he hears. So sad. I think that you are doing a good job of trying to be supportive but honestly (and I am no expert) I think you should tell him "I love you Y and I want the best for you BUT I will hang up the phone when you are threatening or abusive to me." He is crossing the boundaries, in my humble opinion. You have my support no matter what you decide but if you are not comfortable hanging up you can at least zone out. Geez, who to heck ever knew how hard it was to parent? Not me. Hugs DDD [/QUOTE]
