I think you are entitled to be treated as kindly as your son is being treated. That's how my t treats me. I too have had enough of mean treatment. Enough to last a lifetime.

I am again so appreciative of the different views you all share with me! Are you sure you are all not therapists, too?
What you said here gives me more to think about and assimilate as I figure out what to say and do, and how to address it. I hope for a positive result whatever that is!
I am SO GLAD that you are done with mean treatment; no one needs that and sometimes we don't recognize it. At least I haven't at times. It is very different than how it is with my former husband. This feels rooted in concern for me, maybe, rather than rooted in the surety that I am a bad human being.
I don't feel he intends to be mean to me, more that I get under his skin and then that gets under my skin. I don't think I am saying that to excuse bad behavior as I used to do in my marriage but maybe I am so I am going to think hard about it all with all these new insights. It is helping!
Thank you so much for your help! I appreciate it! I am so glad you have a therapist who treats you well. You and everyone else--me, too--deserve that.
