It gives me more time to focus on my elderly mother with dementia, it hurts really bad! My husband and my son are in a close relationship right now, but I can't stand the silent treatment from my son. I had never thought I would be in this "sandwich generation", and both sitations are difficult In and of themselves.
I feel that I need more information before I can make a comment about this situation.
They often turn to the other parent or friends to punish us.
As hurtful as it is if you show weakness now you play right your son's hands.
Recognize what he's doing.It's called manipulation.
If he turned to his dad so be it.Let him know that's fine but you do not regret your decision.
