    Finally told my son not to contact me anymore, and by text since he doesn't answer my calls - hurts like hell and he's oblivious to some of the damage that's been inflected, but I can't deal with the inconsistency and disrespect - I'm tired and sad and lost. I don't know where to go from here. And the worst part is a large part of me wants him to get the message and just be the son he was. But he's 19 and he won't get it for a long time. I'm so sad. Been sad for years - need to put me first but don't know how.

    :hug: it is hard to back away from someone you love like that but you are right to do it until that person can treat you properly. You will figure out the path to putting yourself first one step at a time. You will try things and they will work or they won't, just keep moving forward with the things that work. It's an ever changing evolution. I wish you the best of luck! :)
    Thank you. I wish it wasn't this way, but it is. I have to learn to take care of me with as much energy as I did as a mother.
    Beautiful thoughts ND. Sending healing vibes your way NJN.

    Wondering why its so expensive to send something from USA to Denmark, and on top of that have to pay costoms in denmark , a poster cost $35 in PJ store, by the time it comes to denmark i end up paying $70 for it... its just stupid.

    I'm really sorry to hear that Nancy, I imagine that's really painful for you as a parent. Hopefully time will mend things a bit. He is so young still - there is still so much time for him to grow and change and make some realizations about himself and his relationship with you. Meanwhile, great idea to focus on yourself and try to find how to be happy separate from him (for now), and perhaps he can take that time to focus on himself too.

    Yes it is, and he sent me several texts this morning while at class. All the right words and I'm sure he means them, but again no follow through. I didn't respond, that's a small victory. I hate this though. Thanks PJ.

    Good thoughts to you, Nancy. No one can say your son has a mother who doesn't care. Be well.

    What sentences are given for vehicular manslaughter in your country?

    I have often been disgusted by the ridiculously lenient sentences given for this crime. How is killing someone when driving drunk or recklessly any different to killing them in any other non premeditated way? Is the person any less dead or are their loved ones lives any less destroyed?

    Trying to talk myself into forking out for a really nice gym. It's very expensive but having had a free trial, now I don't think anywhere else would satisfy me!
