[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 111775"] It really does bother him, how his dad treats him, but he does the guy thing and doesn't talk about it much. Then one night, a few months later, it will all come out and he'll be really upset. It ends up being one of those nights where we spend several hours going over everything. He just needs to get it out and hear that it's not him, Know what I mean?? In fact, this is the probably the first time that he's told me right away how things went. Over the summer we chatted via IM and he vented about some things, but didn't talk about it much at home until a few months later. They've never accepted him for who he is and have always tried to make him into something he's not. He sees how they are and it bothers him that they treat him and talk to him like he's not as good as they are. On Saturday he said, "They think just cause they have a boat and a four wheeler and go on cruises that I'd want to live there, but it takes a lot more than that. They never say anything nice about me. They act like they are better because of 'southern hospitality', but really they're selfish and rude." When he was 10, easy child called me from his dad's obviously distressed because his dad and step-mom were saying really bad things about me to him. Here I am, 600 miles away trying to comfort my son telling him that it doesn't matter what other people say because he and I know the truth and that's all that matters. Then a couple of years ago, he was talking to his dad about something and his dad responded that he never knew that. easy child tells him that I didn't either til he told me and K responds with, "easy child, don't compare me to your mother." easy child didn't tell me this; he told my mom. Then he told my mom that he knew right then when his dad said that that he was ready to come home. Funny...K was/is always the one accusing me of bad-mouthing and/or undermining him. Guess it's that guilt thing, eh? If I'm doing it, you must be to kinda thing. [/QUOTE]
