Re: Feeling devastated tonight

I am very sorry you have received such a hurtful text from your son; I know this hurts on many levels. Obviously, immaturity abounds between son, girlfriend, and her mother. Any young woman who has set her sights on someone who may potentially be Mr Right, knows to pay attention to how he treats his mother, for an insight into how she will be treated. Any young man who thinks he has found Ms Right, should have enough sense to never let a girlfriend come between him and his mother. He can always find another girlfriend. My advice is to leave this pot alone; do not watch it, do not stir it, just let it stew, and let your son figure out his problems---his real ones, and the one he's created. With maturity comes the knowledge of learning to keep your mouth shut, and to think before you speak. There will come a day he will deeply regret the words he typed to you. Hoping this is resolved very soon.

Re: Feeling devastated tonight

I don't think people should be mean to this poster. Shes obviously broken down. And I don't think any son (or daughter) should talk to their mother like that unless she physically did something to him a child. But because she may have meddled? No.

I would suggest this poster try to mend the fences with her son. I also suggest some sort of counseling because her marriage is obviously bad too. (Perhaps an abusive husband?)

But I don't think its funny or a joke that she posted what she did. Walk in her shoes then judge. Shes obviously looking for help. Maybe in the wrong place (on these boards). But she seems broken.

Re: Feeling devastated tonight

At this point the damage is done, but learn from it. If and when your son ever contacts you again (I pray that he does), never interfere with his personal life unless he asks for your advice or your help. If his gf is mean or ugly to you, it will eventually come out, don't try to fix things as you will only make things worse. Hang in there, take care of yourself and I pray things will work out for you.

Not going to say it...nope.

Why do I get the feeling we are thinking similar thoughts.

Make that 3 of us.

Yep. Add one husband to the story, slightly alter writing style and buy a new tablet.

Has RRR resurfaced again? But there was never a husband in here scenarios.

Ding! We have a winner.

Re: Feeling devastated tonight

Your son sounds more like a teen and not a grown man at almost 26 years old.
