Update:
I caved with my son... he knows that when I am ill, he can wear me down and he did (my blisters, sugar withdrawal, Xanax stablizing, best friend's surgery, her bizar treatment of me of the past 6 weeks - she had surgery)... I hate me.. I gave him money for a used truck.. I didn't give but "loaned". I know that I will never see the money again. I am done with people IRL,,, I have cut off my best friend completely - after treating me just terrible - she called and "made nice" with me.. but it no longer matters. I don't want friends that critize me and tells me what to do with my life.. I would rather just not have friends.. it is better that way. My son, I felt a great need to make things better than what I had for a horrific childhood and things that I went thru during my marriage at 19. I guess I wanted to have him experience a wonderful life with caring people that I never had. So much for that... I can no longer take care of other people.. I need to take care of me.. So I am alone.. and want to be alone.. sometimes that is much better.. |

Dont be too hard on yourself.... We all do things at the time what we feel is right. My son is nine, his younger sister gave him 27 euros for a game that I told him he couldnt have until Christmas.. He took the money from her and bought the game... I made him pay her back by emptying the dishwasher for 27 days... OK, I paid him 27 euros for doing that, but then made him give it back to his sister... I hope that he learnt a lesson from that.. It broke my heart to see him doing that every morning, but I stuck to my guns... And as for his sister, she couldnt quite understand the problem, she thought she was being kind to her brother... So I had to tackle that one too... So it seems life is full of lessons... Good luck with your son... x
