Hurt and depressed.

 RMy adult son  has said hes had enough of me and wants to move out . Ok i knew it would happen one day but hes being so nasty. Saying he doesnt want me to know where he is so i cant visit, asking g why i sent him to a crap school when he was 4, why i got married (divorced)  trying to make me out to be a bad mother when all ive tried to do is help him and care for him on my own most of his life. I feel so upset and down , i feel lost and empty Our relationship is damaged.  Weve been left on our own for so long without any help, although hes not easy in that respect to try and help and advise.  Alli want is for him to have a better life and be happy instead of spending everyday in his room.   I dont know if i can get through this...

  • I'm sorry things are hard for you at the moment but I want you to know you definitely can and will get through this. I'm sorry your son is treating you this, it sounds like he's got a lot of built up anger and feelings and is taking it out on you. It can't be easy for you to cope with I'm sorry.

    Just remember that what he says isn't true and you are not to blame. You have raised him, provided for him and loved him. As a parent you can't do anymore than that. Please keep reaching out if you need to. Samaritans are useful to talk to if you need to have a chat with someone.
