Sun

I'm so sorry your son baited you into this confrontation, but I think it's a good thing that he spends sometime with his dad. Nothing like living on the other side of la-la land to figure out it wasn't so bad where you were before.

And to be honest, I think you could use sometime to yourself...peace and quiet...to plot the direction you're going to take. I don't know if I've ever had that peace and quiet since the bomb was dropped so long ago. It's just seemed to be one bad thing after another. I think my health is starting to pay the price for that now..so many years later.

I had/have losses one right after another too

Dad died
H changed jobs, which ultimately changed him and our family
Grandma died
Grandpa died
Both uncles died
Family friend died
Bomb
Lost the marriage
Lost the house
Lost any sense of security/family there was before
This year, lost another family friend in an accident
And I'll soon be losing my daughter in law...son told her he wanted out after 7 years of marriage. (Yes, it's a generational curse! This will be about the 5th generation in a row on Hs side where the H divorced the wife)

I think you sound much stronger, Sun. It's hard to learn how to stand up for yourself..all over again. But you sound like you have the spunk to do it.
