[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 754000, member: 19522"] Hi Acacia, welcome back. So sorry for your need to be here. I’m glad you were able to get away for respite. Your son still tries to establish himself as alpha, while he expects you to cater to him. These adult kids of ours play on our love for them and use it against us. “You are my mother, give me what I want, but don’t tell me what to do.” I agree completely. Now my quote thingee isn’t working but I also agree that by engaging with your son, he feels that he can overpower you and berate you. That’s unacceptable Acacia, it’s awful. I think I would hang up. How obnoxious and rude. For some reason, he thinks that works for him. I don’t think you are spineless, shell shocked, but not spineless. It’s hard when these kids try to play us. It hurts. I’m tired of hurting. Swallowing lumps in my throat. My Rain called and wanted to “borrow” a chainsaw for some side job. I said that I threw the old one away (true) but didn’t offer the one I bought. I would never see it again. I haven’t heard from her since then. I probably sound like a witch too, feel like one as well sometimes. My two are in a place where they don’t give a hoot about their family, myself included. I don’t want to play their game. It hurts too much. I have had the proverbial rug pulled from under me too many times. Whatever you decide Acacia, please know you do not deserve to be maltreated and berated by your own son. Especially when you are offering such a generous gift. Stand up for yourself dear sister. You don’t have to stoop to his level. You don’t have to listen to his insults either.
