[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 664467, member: 1550"] I feel bad for you, not him. You are older now and he never checks up to see if you are sick or need his help or are happy. At his age, most adult children are starting to take care of their parents. Instead, he is making you so stressed, he could kill you. To me, you are the one who deserves compassion. Your son has had 40 some years to at least understand that caring goes two ways. If you care about him, he ought to care about you and sometimes ask about your welfare and offer to help. I'm sure he is stronger than you and your husband. I feel sad for you because you need to care for yourselves and can't do anything for him and he apparently doesn't mind scaring the wits out of you. He's not a 20 year old kid who has gone wrong and doesn't get it yet, wih parens who are still pretty young and can handle it to a point. Yet he still doesn't care. It is up to you to either let the stress destroy you or to try to do nice t hings for you and husband in spite of your son, who is probably trying to scare you (which is extremely cruel for a man his age). You can't save him. He has to save himself. Whether he does or d oesn't, I hope you and your husband save yourselves from him. And I hope you have other adult kids who do care about you and grandchildren to enjoy. But you can find ways to enjoy life even if you don't. What about traveling? :) [/QUOTE]
