[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 665253, member: 18958"] Seeking, this is how my son treats us. And when we don't accept it he abuses us more. Including calling the cops on us and assaulting my SO. The thing is I love him. And he loves me. I do not believe it will always be the way it is with my son, although sometimes I fear it. I am understanding that you think anything your son does or says is abuse. That there is no communication that can come from him that has at its base a kernel of anything that is not instrumental. Designed to extract something or humiliate you. Obviously, there is nowhere to go from here. If you see your son as without any will to treat you as human beings, where is the open door? I spoke from a belief that I hold: I believe there is always a possible next step. There is always another chance. If one is open to it. That does not mean I will allow my son to abuse me anymore, either. In martial arts (of which I know nothing) there is a manner of strategic thinking whereby the weight, the thrust of the opponent is used against them. They do themselves in by their own aggression. I am curious. After all of the admitting in the world has been done, what will be left? [/QUOTE]
