[QUOTE="katya02, post: 564418, member: 2884"] I agree, you don't need to/should not tolerate abuse from your son. The language he used crosses a line that should not be crossed. After SO many years of abuse, both from ex-husband and from difficult child, I see the value of firm boundaries. We aren't responsible for their abuse; yet the more we tolerate, the more they feel free to do or say. We can only protect ourselves by setting those boundaries and challenging every time they're breached. If you feel that 3 years are necessary for your own healing and peace of mind, so be it. Take the time you need. Your son will only learn to respect boundaries when he's shown that they are important. I'm still learning this ... don't mean to come across as knowing it all. I know it in theory but also know that practice is much harder. Many hugs and supportive vibes coming your way! Take care of yourself. [/QUOTE]
