[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 677515, member: 1157"] I'm sorry, Copa. I'm glad you made him leave, though. Nothing is wrong with you. You are simply practicing self-preservation by avoiding a very toxic person. The fact that person is your son complicates things, but doesn't make it any less "right" to keep him at arm's length. Our kids tend to be "psychic vampires," and it's sometimes draining just to be around them. Try to look at this as a lesson learned. If he shows up on your doorstep again, either don't let him in, or let him in, give him a cup of coffee and send him on his way. Trying to engage in "normalcy" such as asking for advice about cameras etc. is quite often wasted effort with our Difficult Child's, as you've seen. Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
