Family Issues Support Group
Family issues is a huge range that go from minor conflict to major misbehaviour and even abuse on the part of individual members of the family occur. Whether you feel you are in a dysfunctional family or you're dealing with a very specific issue, this is the place to talk about it and find others who might be going through the same thing.

My son and daughter in law never really keep in contact with me until they need something. That's fine with me since I have my own life. But recently my son needed a place to stay when some family issues came up. I told him that he could stay with me. I completely had to adjust my schedule since I work weird hours and I didn't want to disturb him when he was there, plus I gave him my room since I only have one bedroom and a loveseat in the LR.
He was supposed to be able to go home yesterday but was not allowed to by the judge. (can't go into detail). He came back to my house last night and told me it was a no go. I said he could stay longer but he needed to dial down the extremely long showers. When he's done with the shower, I swear there's water dripping everywhere from the moisture. I see mold on my ceiling already. Plus, I'm on a tight budget and cannot afford the high water bills.
He said sorry about that and I went back to sleep in the back of the house. I went out to the LR a little while later and he had packed up and left without telling me. When I texted him, he said he was in a bad mood and wanted to be alone and didn't want to disturb me. He wasn't disturbing me. I know he got upset with me about the shower comment. He does that quite a bit. Takes offense to the slightest comment.
I'm not sure how I feel about this. I bent over backwards to help and in return I get no help from him. The other day, I mentioned to him that I need help around the house & yard and I got brushed off and he decided to go golfing with a friend.
I try to be a good mother, but I feel that all I do is give, give, give and get no respect in return.
Sorry for the long winded explanation.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Is here for your viewing pleasure! Mom and I have some errands to run. Camera is up so I can check in on Copper puppy while we are out. Let's see how that goes. How are you today?

So mad at Xfinity! They're trying to charge me $115 per month for the same service I had been paying $50 the last four years. I took the equipment to UPS for shipping and cancelled my subscription today! Next door was a cookie shop called Crumbl. I had heard of it before but never went in until today. I don't need one more sugar fix, but maybe it will help with my sad) grieving heart....$15...


God Bless
I think letting him sleep on a blowup mattress would be much more appropriate IMHO and let him leave.... That's passive aggressive.... Behaving in an entitled way is no good and won't help him even when that's your intention
I agree that rescuing and wanting to save children constantly from the word no can create a huge problem in their lives
I'm sorry that you've been hurt..... I would let him fall wherever he ends up now if it were me and I would absolutely take your bedroom back..... Big hug of comfort and support.....xo
