[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 42260"] He's not being very easy child when he behaves like that. He's been so critical, bossy and controlling the last few months. When I had the second heart cath, I had another abdominal bleed. Nowhere near as large as the first, but it was very painful. I had been up all night because the only position I could find any relief in was sitting indian-style and kind of hunched over. Finally, around 6:30 am, the pain medications kicked in enough that I was able to lie down...but only with a pillow between my knees and one tucked under my tummy. easy child came in and was yelling at me, telling me how irresponsible and lazy I was because I was in bed. He said he was going to go live with Nana because he couldn't stand to be around me anymore. I told him he wasn't allowed to live with Nana. I told him if he was moving out, he had to go live with his Dad. I knew he wouldn't go live with his Dad, that wasn't the point. I'm not going to allow him to play me. Fran, I understand what you are saying and I think that is where my Mom is now. But it took years to get here. When easy child was little and she provided daycare, she was thinking of moving an hour and a half away. She said she could pick easy child up Monday morning and bring him back to me Friday night. She didn't understand why I wouldn't consider that. When easy child was 10 and was diagnosis'd with severe depression and was suicidal, he was put on an AD. My mom told me that I was just wanting to medicate him because I didn't like his behavior and told easy child that he didn't have to take the medications, so he didn't. She then went out and bought my suicidal child a swiss army knife. The same one he barricaded himself in his room with and I had to take the door of the hinges to get to him. About 6 weeks later, my mom called me crying because she finally realized how sick he was and told me that she thinks he should come live with her. She never ceased to amaze me. He's angry because I've been letting the housework slide because I've been ill. He's angry because he thinks I'm not strict enough with difficult child. He should really watch himself on that one, because if I parented my kids the way he thinks I should parent difficult child he'd be in for a rude awakening himself. I understand he's frustrated.
