[QUOTE="LauraH, post: 742852, member: 22877"] So what how do you classify or categorize this? Son called me a little bit ago saying was leaving the stabilization center because the wait was too long and that a friend was paying for his medications so he didn't need to be there anyway. Said he had missed the last bus in that area and asked me for an Uber? What??? My only response was "No." Plain and simple, end of story. He just called me again to say he was mistaken and there was one more bus which he was able to catch. So that was good news. But here's the good part. He told me he's meeting a friend when the friend gets off work at 9 and wanted to come hang out here until then. Again...what??? I didn't respond, trying to formulate my words. While I was considering my response he threw in that he wanted to "clarify" what happened last night. Said he was justified calling my husband what he did and storming out because my husband was yelling, screaming, and cursing (he wasn't...I heard the entire exchange). Told me I misheard and that his hearing is better than mine, and that I was in another room. (I wasn't, I was standing right there in the kitchen between them. Told me "Eff you, you're calling me a liar and insulting me and I don't have to put up with that. Just remember what I said about Chicago and don't be surprised if I go back there." and hung up on me. WTH was that? Guilt trip? Bullying? Threats? Manipulation? Gaslighting? All of the above? At any rate, it's nothing I feel like engaging in. [/QUOTE]
