Hi
Not sure if this ok- however I’m a bit sorry so down and sad, our 19yr old is at Uni and back for Christmas which we were looking forward to and had been getting on well, upto few days before ...all he’ll let loose family fell out and things shouted 19yr old desperately upset and I ended up shouting at them as much! hardly seen them and now I feel ill! nd have been migraines ! 19yr old refusing to talk properly even though they sent a text to me saying they loved me and will as I’m mum! Though refusing to talk to anyone else and they go back to Uni soon? I just feel so sick and from what people

I’m still same! 19yr old is being damn awful, I’m now counting down for them to head back to Uni! I apologised for situation and still feel sick, shamed! and now 19yr is I feel doesn’t want to know me?however did yesterday whenI was asked to pay for flights back to Uni!! Sick to me stomach —we were supposed to go out tomorrow though they’ve grunted so I’m going out for coffee with a friend - I want to scream - I won’t !! I’ve told them I’ve made mistakes I’m human welcome to my world! I feel like I’ve been cast aside all because of one flippin Christmas which was my worst in my whole damn life 😭
