He is a jerk. Plain and simple. Don't try to figure out why. Anyone who spews that kind of venom is a damaged, hurt, angry person. I believe when people lash out like that and blame others it is because of their own insecurities. He is weak and can't face himself. The only thing he knows what to do is lash out at you because he feels inferior. Consider the source, Julie. Anyone who has acted this way just since a has been in hospital is no one worthy of weighing any type of opinion or input on your character. You have done right by your son and been there for him. Can he say the same? Don't ever feel responsible for this. Donyou know how many mothers out there would have to be accountable- unnecessarily? Moms do whatever for their kids and protect them the best they can. That's the bottom line. Don't ever doubt that or feel you did something other than love and provide for your s. Forget h. You are right, he knows how to upset you. What kind of a person would do that? Not anyone worthy of giving credit to their nonsense and hurtful rants. It is simply a way for him to feel better for his own weaknesses, but it doesn't work. It never will. Don't give it credence. He's a jerk. Leave it at that.
