If that is truly the case, then she is in violation of the community standards just the same.

I find the story to be disingenuous, her claiming his blow-up came out of the blue and she doesn't understand, yet goes on to say what she's done and obviously that is what caused the blow-up!

I do not believe the OP, I think she is just for whatever reason trying to see what responses she gets.

Why is the OP in violation of the standards? She could be legitimate reaching our for help?

Don't worry, be Happy!

Thank You Christmas, I thought maybe it was giving to much personal info. I still think she is an imposter trying to invoke something, just nor sure what.

Don't worry, be Happy!

Re: Feeling devastated tonight

This isn't RRR.

Her son is married, he has a child...the OP son only has a GF and no children yet.

The OP is overweight and has a husband...RRR does not.

I do not think this is RRR at all.

I also believe this is a true post. She changed her nic as obviously we would recognize her name. I can't believe somebody would go thru that much trouble to 'test' us...

that said, her first mistake was interferring in her son's relationship PERIOD..she should of never reached out in any way, shape or form at ANY time to the GF..and then she called her up and called her a pot stirrer for telling her son she called her. Then I am sure it escalated.

As for her husband. I am sure there are two sides to every story..he probably does not defend her or get involved because she creates these messes herself by interferring where it is not her business. Unless her son asked her to talk to them as a couple..or asked to reach out to the GF..she should MIND HER OWN BUSINESS..

Damage is done..and I don't think a simple I am sorry..is going to fix this..especially if she called the GF names...regardless of what is going on between the son and his GF..it is not her business..

I would apologize to my son..say I am so sorry...please forgive me..and CHANGE..go to therapy - even if he is still mad at you..show him you are trying to make positive changes in your life and besides being overbearing..you are intererring ...and need therapy to deal with the reasons for that..your resentment for your husband..your low self esteem ..which weight issues don't help with some people..others have a positive attitude and so what..

Only person she can change is herself..and she needs to show her family she is serious about doing it..butting in and calling people up and reaching out..will surely as she has found out..tick off your family member...and getting involved in relationship issues is a huge no..no...

Re: Feeling devastated tonight

Worried about a poster being in violation of community standards for another nic? Do you know how many around here do that all the time when banned..most of them do and say so too...lol..

Least of our worries is somebody being in violation of commnity standards..not even on the radar.

I was banned for saying I had two names. The webmaster read it in VP and blocked me. I could get back on only after explaining to the Social Team that I was using one for the boards and one for product reviews. The name I used for reviews was deleted.

And none of this is anything to worry about

Re: Feeling devastated tonight

OP, I’m sorry for the pain you’re experiencing. I know it’s hard to look past the pain right now, but perhaps this can serve as a new beginning for you, not an ending - - a wakeup call. You mentioned being insecure about your weight and being alone. Perhaps your fears are contributing to the need to control others.

You may not be aware of the depth of this issue and how it’s affecting those around you. We don’t always see ourselves as others see us. I think it would benefit you to have counseling alone. You need to work on yourself first, deal with the pain. The only person you can change is yourself. As you change, and others notice, perhaps a new dynamic will be formed.

Re: Feeling devastated tonight

Your main problem is your lack of self-esteem and lack of boundaries.

You need to back away from your son's relationship. Don't call the GF again.

Work on your own life and your own marriage. Its time to cut the apron strings.

Your son flipped out, he probably doesn't truly mean what he said; but take the hint and butt out.
