((((((((((HUGE HUGS)))))))))) Yvette - plenty of us were a bit of a handful in our teens too and ended up hurting parents when we really didn't mean to. Whoever decided to give the young so many hormones eh ? And now I've got three soon-to-be stepchildren of about your son's age and know exactly how it feels to be on the other end of things. It may not be much consolation now but it can be part of life and growing up. Don't take it to heart - I'm sure he's hurting too. Love Rick.xx |

Its ok Pink, i just a touch sensitive at the mo, can't think why :-) He raised his hand, but thought better of it thank goodness, but it gave me a nasty shock, he is so much like his father at times it is scary, and it was like the past years with Mal had melted away and i was faced with my past. I am sure he is as hurt by it as i am, but he is so stubborn at the moment he won't back down. He was in tears as he left but wouldn't appologise and stay. I just have to sit and wait for him to contact home again. |

Rick, thanks As a side issue i am sure giving hormones to males of any age is dangerous ;-) |

So sorry to read of your hurt Yvette. Your son will have plenty of time to reflect on what he has said or done. Once he has calmed down and realises he will miss you and all you mean to him,he'll be in touch!! I know I don't know of your situation but a little 'breathing' space between you may be a good thing at the moment. Do hope everything works out for you both. Love, Maureen XX |

Yvette (((((((((((((((((((((())))))))))))))))))))) so sorry you are having a stressful time. My 14-year-old is a moody watsit at the moment and is driving me mad. Last night I dreamt he was a baby again and it was lovely - I was bouncing him on my knee and he was cooing. At the moment I want to bend him over my knee and wallop him! Hope your troubles all blow over quickly. I am sure your son will be OK and will contact you when he's calmed down. nell |

Hi Yvette, of course you can have a hug. Ive got a son 18 so i know exactly what you mean - they can be so hurtful but im pretty certain they dont mean it most of the time. Btw mine has gone off to work on the fair for the summer, just packed his job in, packed his bags and went off happy as larry!!! Love to you and Mal and i hope things are better with David soon. Sheila xx |

Yvette, I really feel for you. Having mega problems with my 19 year old daughter at the moment. I've told her she will have to leave when her father goes as I can't cope with her. She is so much like her father and I can't have her taking over from him. Things she said to me last thursday night were awful. Yet her father sticks up for everything she is doing!! Also had a major problem with my other daughter at 22 last year and haven't spoke/seen her since then. So much has happened I now don't want to. You never ever think you will have these troubles with your children. If you had told me a year ago all this would happen I would have laughed. So I know exactly how you are feeling and am sending you huge hugs. (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Dianexx |

Yvette. At the age of sixteen I physically threw my son out of the house. My wife was not happy about but accepted it. Some five years later, without my knowledge, my wife found him through the Salvation Army and asked him to come home. On his arrival he thanked me, not sarcastically, for putting him on his feet. He said that he quickly realised that he had to ‘grow up’ and take care of himself. Since then we have been very close. My two daughters also left home at seventeen to make their way in the world and both of them have been very successful and both are very close in the family. This may not work for all situations so I am not making this a recommendation. Sometimes one has to be cruel to be kind. At nineteen I was just starting my first stint of ‘Active Service’, I was a ‘man’ so is your son, he will survive and in the years to come you will become even closer. As a parent I feel for you. Regards Brian (i) |

Yvette, Just wanted to add, that I had major problems with one of my daughters, (which I don`t want to go into on here) but everything worked out ok in the end. You just have to be there for them when they finally come back home. It`s not easy but is all part of being a Mum. I really feel for you at the moment, and hope things work out for you all soon.

I am so so sorry to hear of your troubles. My son is 6'5' and 18 next week, when they get stroppy and stomp about banging, crashing, even pushing into you etc it can be a bit threatening. I'm sure when your son raised his hand it was just teenage hormones. He did exercise control and stop so don't read too much into it. I felt quite weepy when I read how you were feeling-its so hard isn't it. Hopefully he will come back soon or phone. Please let us know. In the meantime- Take care-a big hug from me Chris |

Thanks everyone for all the hugs and kind words. Diane i really feel for you as well, i had a similar situation with my oldest, she got to a stage where she left, but we were all talking ok and it was properly arranged, luckily things improved with time and she came home again last february for a few months...and is still home, so i know i am lucky there. I hope things settle for you and send my luv and a huge ((hug)) to you. I am off to bed in a minute as i am wiped out, but thanks for all the messages of support, they do help. If anyone has a cure for swollen red eyes i would be interested, i am sporting a fantastic pair at the moment! Yvette |
