You can choose your friends but not your family unfortunately.
I am sorry to read what you have gone through with your son. I have read both your updates in addition to the original post and feel pleased that you are happy and living life. You are doing the right things and the fact that him and your family are seemingly manipulating you emotionally is wrong. Stay strong you are doing great. Don't let any of them bring you down |

I'm struck by how cruel(?) he is by staying in weekly contact with your mother and completely ignoring you.
It's like a passive-aggressive two-step he's playing. Nasty ... |

I had everything crossed when I saw your update hoping for a reconciliation for you. Not sure what more you could have done, think you’re Mum could do more to mediate. You can’t do anymore one day he might see sense.
Good luck to you and DH. |

Unfortunately my mother seems to love playing the "i have all the power game"!
There have been several notable occasions but her second best was hiding my sister in their spare room on NYE as we all celebrated my DH 40th birthday - then after coming out to dinner (with 20 of us) saying she was poorly so she needed to go home - then turning up half an hour later with my sister - that I hadn't spoken to for years... (she was really horrid when my dad was in intensive care I cant forgive her!). I have given up any notion that she might intervene! Edited to say that I have 2 other sisters that I get on really well with! My 3rd sister doesnt speak to her either... Edited at 10:29 PM. |

She did sent me a message for my birthday last year but when I said I hadn't heard from DS or seen his new house she said "oh thats a shame - I couldn't imagine not speaking to my children!"
I thought it strange as we stayed with them for 4 nights at the wedding and I thought we got on very well! I really quite liked her! Still I suppose if DIL is driving this then she is always going to take her daughters "side". |

What a sad situation- you’ve done the right thing - he knows where you are, you keep letting him know you are thinking of him and when he’s grown up a bit (or managed to stand up to her) he will see sense x

Hi Katie, I've just read the whole post from start to finish and I'm so sorry there isn't a happier ending for you.
You sound like you've done everything you can to reconcile with your son but I'm pleased you're in a better place now. No advice but I have all my fingers crossed he gets his head out of his a*se and realises what a great mum he has! |
