My DS is 19 and has moved out of home to start his life in another country not too far away.
He has a GF who I can only decribed as controlling and muliptive. She has a set against me, I don't know why it seemed to happen over night.
When DS was still in school and u18 he had rules, not many but some. Like no staying out late on school nights (10,11 pm depending on age and activity) as he needs sleep.
When she didn't get her way GF would send me horrible nasty texts.
I always ignored her or tried to make amends. Basically pandering to her.
This week has been a horrendous week for me, I've been very busy with work and course work. I've been missing what's app messages from friends and family and apparently also her.
She texted me a horrible message yesterday and I was so annoyed I sent a message back basically saying how dare she speak to that way, she has no manners and she shouldn't judge me.
I am sick of being bullied by her.
Problem is now DS is ignoring me.
I am both annoyed and heart broken that he thinks it's okay for someone to speak to me the way she does. We were very close before her. I am starting to wonder if I did something wrong. I have told him I love him and I am always here for him.
How do I let him go and start living my life again. All of this is making me sick.
How did others cope with it.
