I am a regular but have changed my name for this post.
I will try to be as brief as I can. I had a childhood where I was an audience to my parents screaming matches. I was always very complient. This changed when I met my DH who made me realise that I did have a choice as to whether or not to do certain things e.g it was ok to spend Christmas in our own home. This has led to a number of rows over the years which have really upset me and caused anxiety. We now have a DS and until now he has not been witness. I have been more concerned recently about my parents drinking and every evening when we see them both get very drunk. Roll on to recently and a row erupted when I stood up for my son as I felt he was being picked on. I feel terrible that my son saw a row and I did play some part in it. What has upset me is that he is now witness to this and in fact the row was blamed on him as being manipulative. There is a special event my family and due to me worrying about a reoccurrence I have asked them to come the next day rather than on the day as planned. They are now refusing to come and laying the guilt on me. We were all in the wrong and I haven't acknowledged this just blamed them. Should I explain further my reasons for changing the arrangements?? Feeling very confused.
