[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 728819, member: 1233"] This kind of person makes you feel so crazy!!! They make you wonder what is real and what isn't real. What they do is called gaslighting. They tell you one thing is real, then you see another thing is actual reality, and you can get a bit confused. That is rather natural, given the very convincing things they tell you. I had a brother who would do this to me. Until my husband came along, no one ever saw my side. My husband wondered why anyone ever saw my brother's side because all my brother had were words. I had actual reality to prove what happened. Sadly, that often didn't matter in my family. It used to make me nuts as a kid. I think your son can be like my brother. Fond of telling you one thing often enough until reality blurs out of focus and the words are the only thing you can see in focus. It is time to focus on your husband and reality and yourself. Let your son and his girlfriend go and fix their own world. Get some therapy to help you adjust to this life. It sure is NOT easy. Know that we are here and we understand! [/QUOTE]
