[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lot of people getting their consciences poked. Better double down with the vitriol and stamp on those who relate to ops kids. There are a few of you, so you can take comfort that you're all RIGHT and the rest of us are losers, just like your dumb kids. Can't wait till they're out of your hair, am I right?[/quote]

You need to stop projecting your own issues onto OP and other posters. It’s not healthy. [/quote]

DP. We don’t need to project anything on OP. Her own words show she is absolutely unwilling to try to understand her son’s perspective and cannot tolerate the fact that she might have done some things wrong that can’t be immediately swept under the rug. She’s willing to admit that there were some challenges, but not willing to allow that her son could have been affected by her actions, and not willing to engage in an emotionally mature discussion about the past. None of that is healthy. [/quote]

You are extreme and demanding. OP sounds hurt and troubled by her son's letter.[/quote]

Yes, because it would shatter her egoto admit she f*cked up with her son. If she truly loves her sons and wants him to heal and be at peace, all she has to do is acknowledge his feelings. There is no need to assign blame or destroy ones ego, just say, "I'm sorry and I'm willing to listen and support you while you work through this". Don't let your need to be right destroy your relationship with your adult child.[/quote]
