Today I found out that my mum probably has skin cancer and is having an operation to remove a tumour. I'm understandably upset, worried, concerned and anxious. She's my only surviving parent. On top of this I've had the week from hell regarding work and my son's behaviour is spiralling out of control, he's stealing money at home and I'm getting constant phone calls from school about his behaviour there. Now, normally dp and I have a cuddle on the sofa on an evening. Past two nights he's sat at the opposite end and refused to hug me saying he wants to "stretch out". Tonight I said I could really do with a hug and he snapped "come to me then". He's sat in an awkward position on a corner sofa, would be a million times easier for him to come and hug me but no, he wants to make a point for some reason and is insisting I either go to him for a hug or I go without. He acted the same when my grandad died.
I've stayed where I am. He ended up saying "you can't be that bothered, you've not come to me gave you!" Etc. ffs of all times to play power games :-(
