[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 740925, member: 1550"] Laura, you are where I am with a son I tried to support emotionally for 40 years and will keep doing so IF he decides he can be civil with me. Its up to him. I am busy. I have three wonderful adult children, a great husband and have recently joined a group of great friends. My son wants me to drop everything if he has a concern and he had them three times a day and is very abusive to me. It got better for a while but the abuse and amount of calling ramped up when something happened in a court case he is going through (which has nothing to do with me and which I can do nothing about). So I tried talking to him but he would yell at what I said and would hang up after swearing. So I am focusing on myself and the good things in my life. He would have to change how he interacts with me to have my ongoing support. He can do it but I think that in his mind he will tell himself I abandoned him (I made it clear I am still here) and he will not contact me. It is what it is. The rest of my family have heard how he talks to me and hope he is gone. And I recently sat in on a three way conversation that he had with his frail sick dad and heard for myself how he threatened to drive up there and kill him. Yes, he said kill. And repeated it. Because my ex had inadvertantly angered my sons lawyer in a custody battle. Long story but appalling threat. I started to cry and told him to stop. My ex ignored his threat! I dont think he would do it bit it was do scary abusive to me. Sometimes I need to really lower the boom. I am sorry. Love and light! [/QUOTE]
