[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 724894, member: 18516"] Hi Holly, It's never easy to realize that our adult children can turn into people we don't recognize. You may never know or understand why your son's behaviour towards you has become cold and distant. What I can tell you is you do not have to put up with it. I have learned over the years that expressing our feelings whether verbal or written to our difficult adult children can backfire on us. My own personal experience with my son, he would use my word against me. As for sending him a birthday card, if it were me I would send a very generic card and I would not send any money and would just sign it simply "Love Mom". I'm so sorry you had to find us here. We all have different stories but share the same heartache in that our adult children have hurt us in some way. The best thing we can do is take care of ourselves. We need to live our lives as best we can. I'm glad that you have your art and friends to occupy your time with. ((HUGS)) to you......................... [/QUOTE]
