[QUOTE="Snow White, post: 738278, member: 355"] Bluebell - This thread has covered so many issues. We seem to be at the mercy of our children's twisted view of everything. I can't add anything else to these, other than "They use our weaknesses against us." Your son will continue to use any negativity he can find on your husband. Mine does the same. I have learned never to tell her anything that can be used against me. I know she'll make stuff up (horrible things that could ruin a person's career) about anyone in our family. Don't give in and don't defend. It will just go in a circular argument. Your son has chosen the path he is on right now. He is an adult making adult choices, which result in adult consequences. When you make a mistake, he isn't there to 'fix it' for you. We all make mistakes but most of use are mature enough to 'own them'. You needed the lunch meeting more than your son did. He's still ready to battle with you for control. Walk away. Spend your time with your family - do things that make you happy. Hugs to you. [/QUOTE]
