Re: Problem with my son

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply to my post.
I'm sorry about your own son. It must be hard for you.
My son is living the straight and narrow at the present. I am terribly hurt by his attitude towards me. I cannot afford financially a therapist at the moment.
One of the problems is we had gotten phone counseling from a therapist I had been talking to, so I chose her and she knew my story. But on the phone together I felt she completely turned on me and was sympathetic to him. I wanted to get out some of the things in the past and she was like, why are you being so angry, forget the past. It was so awful. My son uses that against me too. He says, even your therapist said blah blah blah about you. (She wasn't my main therapist at the time, but I thought she would be good and understanding. Instead I felt abused by her.) How can I untangle this stuff.
When my son and I spoke last I said I think you hate me, I have told you how bad I feel about the past, but I was not in control and I have adrenal problems, etc, I do tell you I acknowledge that things weren't right in your childhood. I don't know what else to say to him.
