[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 742896, member: 18516"] Yes, all the above but mainly gaslighting - trying to make you believe something that did not happen, trying to make you question your own sanity. I'm glad you can see it for what it is. Oh if I had a dollar for every time my son said he was done with us! If your son really wants to go back to Chicago - so be it. I think he's hoping/expecting you to break down - telling him "no, don't go, we were wrong, we will do anything you need, just stay" It's very typical of a difficult adult child to ramp things up when we start standing firm in our boundaries and holding our ground. I'm so glad you have good support from your husband. Don't forget you have all of us here too! I know it may not feel like it right now but you are doing great!! You are standing firm and not giving in. ((HUGS)) to you!! [/QUOTE]
