[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am very sorry you’re suffering OP. And also, your email crossed a line. Telling a college freshman that you wouldn’t be in touch until fall break because they hurt your feelings? Are you trying to manipulate your child into coming closer to you by withdrawing your affection? That is really hurtful and messed up.[/quote]

She was absolutely acting manipulatively - textbook borderline. Notice how she mentioned she was checking to see if her daughter mentioned the email to her dad or brother? OP was definitely hoping to spark drama. [/quote]
You’re a piece of work. Or this whole thing is a Troll post, including Op.

Nothing drama or manipulative about checking with your own spouse and family member if they have been in touch with your mentally disordered 19 yo who isn’t talking with you. [/quote]

It’s textbook drama to send someone an email “I’m no longer talking to you this month!” then be upset they didn’t have the reaction you wanted THEN text them to retract the cut-off. Like, textBOOK. [/quote]

You’re quite extreme and fixated.

Hers was the typical (and textbook) Give Them Space response, after the daughter flipped out on her following the daughter’s health scare: 
“Let’s get some space and talk at fall break soon. If there is an issue call anytime, Dad is available too.”

Should have been short & sweet. Easy breezy.
