[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So DS 30's has finally gone into therapy to work on himself, but now he is basically blaming me and my marriage problem/fighting, my religion that I forced on him, my homeschooling, my house rules, etc. All these things caused his mental problems and unhappiness according to his therapist. I have apologized if I contributed but there is not much to be done now. He wrote me a letter about it. It's depressing have all this blame hurled at me, I can't change the past and I wasn't a perfect parent - but we did our best and I thought he had a fairly happy childhood, much better than DH and I. I tried to give him the childhood I wanted as a kid. It's causing me to feel down. No one can hurt you like your kid.[/quote]

My 35 year old brother did this to my mom recently. Mind you that she was widowed young and did everything in her power to make sure he had a good life. All she every wanted was the best for him. What he said to her was horrible. She was having panic attacks and couldn't be alone, she was so upset. I had to intervene and insist that he stop texting her. It was a nightmare and he was wrong.[/quote]
