[QUOTE="JayPee, post: 758837, member: 23405"] It does me good to read these posts. I had not spoken to my oldest son, who is 31 yrs. old for about 8 months. Similar to how you expressed it Newstart, he can so eloquently verbally abuse me and spew venom at me with his words. I had tip toed back into communicating with him, helped him on many, many occasions financially but for the first time required payment back. So approx. 5 months of very careful communication and interaction went on. I felt like it wasn't perfect but it made my heart so happy to know where he was, how he was doing etc. Recently we had a blow out, pretty much because his income tax refund came in (that he owed me) and I truly believe he started a fight just so he felt entitled not to have to pay me back. This verbal abuse was all via text and my heart felt like it got sucker-punched. What a fool I was and still am. He actually told me he'd block me for a few days because I physically made him sick and was such an imbecile and needed to practice humility. He told me I was so self-righteous etc. All the things he said about me applied to him but he doesn't see it that way. Anyways, I'm sorry for rambling. It's just been heavy on my heart. My younger, 27 yr. old is working 40 hrs. a week and doing well. I am so grateful. [/QUOTE]
