That’s the crux of the hurt. I was the best parent to him. I didn’t do any of the harmful things to him that my mother did to me. Yet, still, he didn’t trust me and twisted my words and alienated us as parents.

I always let him do what he wanted.

Plus, it’s obvious his gf is bullying him.

I’m not sure about her family’s feelings about him. I’m finding it hard to believe they truly support the marriage. They tell him he is family and took him in, but I feel it is as long as he becomes one of their ‘clan’, which means coming over to their ways of being. (I can’t discuss religious differences here)

He seems to be having a good time. But he said he is feeling much stress. So, I’m not sure how happy he is. Maybe he’s gone and gotten himself stuck.

Does he even know who he is at this age?
