I am very frustrated with my twenty year old son right now. He is living in California and is in the Marines. It is like he has no respect for me or his family here, and behaves towards us and speaks to us in a very disrespectful manner. Today I had to write him a very difficult letter and let him know that I was taking a break from him and me communicating due to his disrespectful treatment of his family.

Wow, sorry to hear that! Hopefully the letter will smack sense into him and turn things around for you.
I doubt it will, but it was time I set up a few boundaries with him. I love him, and the things that have gone with him have been a source of great sorrow for me. However, there just comes a time, even with your children where you have to make difficult decisions and just have faith that things will turn out OK in the end.
I’m glad that you are putting your foot down, Melissa. It sounds like he needs time. Unfortunately, there’s no way to know exactly how much time it will take.

It will take however long it takes. I am not going to sit and worry about it, nor do I regret setting the boundary.
I’m so sorry to see this. You would hope that if he’s old enough (and therefore smart enough) to be in the Marines, he might have learned a little something about respect.
Hopefully he’ll come around. What a way to treat his lovely mom ((hugs))

Yes one would hope, but it has not happened yet.
Oh no! I’m sorry you’re having trouble with your son….
I’m missing all these posts! They’re not showing up on the dashboard…. What happened? They used to show up there….

Did this one show up? I am sure it probably has to do with the move over. I will see what I can figure out.

I pray that the words entered his heart and that things get better.
Even though my boys are still toddlers, I fear when they become adolescents.
I appreciate you saying this. I really am praying they do as well. I realize it could take a great deal of time before they do.
