I went and read your previous posts, and wow, it sounds like your son is pretty normal and struggling to cope with what has been going on in your life. If you're depressed, stopped taking your meds and quit therapy, my guess is that your behavior is not making him feel safe and/or loved at this point, particularly in light of what you are saying about not liking him since he was 12. Kids can pick up on that, I know I did.

Your son's behavior with other people that you mention in other posts tells me that he is fundamentally a good kid. Maybe it's time to take a look at whether you're treating him with the love, acceptance and respect that a kid deserves from his mother, instead of dwelling on how you don't like him. Maybe rethink your meds and therapy situation and take a good long hard look at who you're dating.

Sorry to be a hag about this, but you blaming your son for your depression and hospitalization is just unacceptable.

Sure he's a good kid since he has no juvi record, hasn't knocked a girl up and isn't a druggie, however that still doesn't give him the right to disrespect me. And as far as my depression goes I NEVER said tht he was exclusively the main cause of it,as I NEVER would do tht. I have always loved my son and treated him with love, acceptance and respect, but I won't apologize to know one how I feel about this sitiation as every yr he gets worse. And as for dating, I just started back up after being divorced for 3 yrs. I just turned 36 on Monday and I'm not dead yet Thx 4 ur reply.
