I have to agree with "cutting the apron strings.

Yesterday, my son told me I made him sick and he hated me. lol He is 26. I laugh because at this point in his life, if he is still acting like a teenager, I guess he may never get it.

His father told him if he didn't graduate this winter, from the university, that was it. He said he was out. His father made one mistake tho, he said he didn't care if he worked or not, all he expected was to see a degree in CS. I think my son should be working.. anyway. His dad should expect him to be working, if not full time, part time.

Ooo my son isn't disrespectful to his father. Seems I am the one that gets the verbal abuse. It used to bother me. Because I was the one that was always there for him. Oh, the story doesn't even matter any more. I just laugh at him when he cusses me out. I guess I don't really care anymore. If he wants to be a jerk, I guess that is his choice. I do know, down the road, many years from now, he will regret how he treats me. Seems he has a love/hate towards me. I guess what I am saying is, if at the age of 26, if he hasn't learned how to be respectful, he "may" or "never" will get it. Something might wise or shake him up one day. shrugs shoulders...

ooo it prob is my fault anyway. I was a tad over protective type mother. I was always there for him. I gave him most of the things he wanted, including all the things he needed. I just gave too much, or loved too much. I wanted to give him everything I didn't get. Which was a mistake. I should have been harder on him, maybe he would have learned respect.

I don't really laff when he cusses me out. It shatters my nerves and causes me to have stomach problems. I can say I did my best. I expected the best from him as an adult. Guess we can't always get what we want.

There is hope somewhere. I don't know where. Maybe anger management classes. I have said enough. Gives me a headache just typing this.
