[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 626214, member: 17269"] It is OK to know this to be true today. It is OK to sit with that thought and allow it to be true. It is true, it is a reasonable and fair response to his behavior, and it is hard hard hard thing to see. A hard place that we, as moms, live in where that is true. Think about why it is that you have allowed his needs to supercede the needs of all others. Does husband want to see him, to spend time with him? Does Bubby? Do you? Why does only JT get what seems to make him more comfortable, at the expense of all of you? You may even have been thinking about seeing him on Mother's Day...YOUR day...an activity which would bring you only distress and discomfort in a weird alternative universive where you are supposed to pretend to be enjoying yourself. Maybe this year is the year to say that what you want for mother's day is to be allowed to be who you are, want what you want, do what you want to do. I am sorry, truly I am, that you are in this hellish place with this hellish boy. Echolette [/QUOTE]
