[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 690824, member: 18516"] God bless you and thank you for your service! Your kids would find something else to hold against you even if you weren't with this new guy and his kids. You have stopped the gravy train, you closed the ATM of mom. That is what they are angry about, they will just use this new guys kids as an excuse to try and make you feel guilty. DO NOT allow them to have control over your emotions. You have done nothing to feel guilty about. Been there, done that, have the T-Shirt as well as many others here. We crossed the line from "helping" to enabling. My husband and I bought a house for our son to live in just so we didn't have to have him live with us. Just because we crossed the line from helping to enabling does not absolve our d-c's from taking responsibility for their own lives. The important thing is you realize it's not in their best interest or yours to continue. If it were me, I would send him a text wishing him a Happy Birthday and that you love him. Short and sweet. I prefer to communicate with my son via PM on Facebook or text. It allows me to keep my emotions in check, it allows me time to really think about my responses to him. If he continues to call and call, again, I would send him a text telling him that if he continues that you will block his number. Hang in there Alaska. [/QUOTE]
