      Hi

      was here ages ago

      was great support I tell myself things have been ok but that’s just usual me lying and covering up

      abusive partner long gone never heard a word after the discard

      but the issue is and always has been my abusive son

       

      I’ve lived many many years in fear of him

      im trained to be a certain way around him watching what I say etc knowing the signs

      he is in a relationship now so left living with me so some would say you not living it now like before

      but people have no idea how I am how I feel

      still the walking on eggshells the blow ups if I say the wrong thing

      (timeframe removed by Moderator) being one of those days

      been accused of being to hard work always wanting to see him

      that they don’t see any family as much as they see me

      how I get the hump if they say no to me

      I get (length of time removed by Moderator) a week contact

      partner pretty much ignores me when I’m there

      not allowed to call him only text

      if I do call I get shut down quick

      so you end up trained not to call

      Everything on his terms

      I’m owed money by both of them and there always excuses why it’s not being paid back but there spending on them selves

      everyone in the family has others I live alone is it really that bad to want to see them once a week

      it felt like he wanted a row (timeframe removed by Moderator)

      and after he stormed out I was left paralysed with anxiety as I can’t live without this child in my life

      it’s been a life of abuse parents husband partners and child

      I really must deserve it

      Hi Headcook,

      Welcome back and thank you for sharing with us. I hope it has helped to post about what you are going through and how you are feeling. You have been through so much, you definitely do not deserve to be treated in this abusive way. Abuse can have such an impact on our wellbeing- do you have any support in place currently? Do keep posting to us when you can, there is support and understanding here for you.

      Best wishes,

      Lisa
