I’m so sorry this is happening. I’m here to read about it when you need to dump some data on the board. I’m aghast at what that boy has done. He probably thinks he himself will be a perfect dad... but cutting off family over perceived past slights is terribly cruel, and that’s not part of the recipe for ideal parenting. That idiot has NO idea how fortunate he was to have your love and care.
One of you is gonna fall and die, and I'm not cleaning it up!

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

It is like delayed teenagerdom. I think/hope he will grow up some day soon.

Oh, Laura, I'm so sorry. That's all too much.

What is even happening?
Oh Laura. Much love to you and your husband. You are right to turn your focus inward.
ION, my eldest son, who has caused me the gray hair over the last decade is doing great. He is thrilled with his move to NY and loving his apartment, his girlfriend, and his job. He has been sweet and communicative.
I'm grateful it's not both at once.

Laura, it's awful that he's putting you both through this. Mind boggling that they would ever alienate parents who demonstrably love and support them but especially at a time when support and love are so critical. I mean it's never not critical, but with all the new stuff they're facing... I'm sorry you two are going through this.
I'm glad to hear of #1's thriving. That's really heartening.
Lots of virtual hugs to you and DH.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I'm sorry, Laura. I can only echo what has already been said.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I'm so sorry Laura. I hope there is a turnaround. I am glad to hear that #1 son is on a good path.
