[QUOTE="keista, post: 464976, member: 11965"] With all this additional information I see my theory was WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY off base. Sorry. I agree with Step that it sounds like Borderline Personality. You story just screams the title of that book [U]I Hate you, Don't leave me![/U] [B][/B] As difficult as that may be for both of you, your son will see, first hand, that you are doing everything in your power to make things better. He may not "get it" at his age, but he will see it. An if you foster trust as one of the foundations of your parent-child relationship, he will accept all your decisions. Please don't worry about the "stigma" of food stamps. I'm just guessing that your mother would/is do her level best to use such a "stigma' to keep you from leaving.
