[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 738218, member: 18516"] Well you tried and that's all you can do. You were willing to meet him for lunch and he chose to turn it into something ugly. I think he uses the same play book my son useso_O I know this one well. My son is the same way, seams to be content staying stuck in the victim role. My son is currently finishing up a 2 year sentence for assault with a knife. (it wasn't his fault of course);) I have sent him a few letters while he's been locked up and have received a few from him as well. I'm usually the one who writes but the last time my husband wrote. My son sent a reply and in that letter he made the claim that I must not love him because I haven't written to him. Whatever!!:rolleyes: He can live on the streets for years and choose to have minimal contact with me but as soon as he's locked up he expects me to write him every week. My son has obviously forgotten the hundreds of times I've rescued him. Yup, they only want to focus on how they perceive things to be and not the actual way things really are. You do not deserve the way he treated you. My son behaves the same way, always trying to tell me how I should be living my life which is rich coming from someone who's own life is out of control. My son, like yours have misplaced anger. They don't want to look deep within themselves and take responsibility for their poor choices so they project out to the ones who love them. Take a few steps back and just breathe. Take time for yourself by doing something fun or special. :group-hug: [/QUOTE]
