I'm not Happy !

Comment Published at 13:2813:2836 comments36 comments70 Visits70 VisitsReport

OK so at first I was angry

then I got really upset

I dropped Daniel at his Nans in time for his dad to pick him up but then I had to go to work. Daniel was fine in fact was actually quite excited. He ws telling me in the car how the break did him such a lot of good he was going to say to his dad I want to see you every 2nd weekend again but if you can't then you don't get to see me at all. LOL I was so proud of him and his new strength.

Anyway, I was held up at work as my boss was there for a visit, that went really well so I was pleased with that, got back to the car and rang Mum to see how Daniel was when he left. Dad answered and said I had better speak to Mum, course that got me worried right away

Turns out that Daniel went out to the car, his dad had all Thomas' things together in a box (including Thomas' PSP LOL go Thomas !!!!!) Mum went out to the car in time to hear Daniel being made to promise that no one would sell any of the stuff as he bought it for them to use with him only, and it was all worth about £500

Dad went out to the car to help unload Thomas' things, and Mum and Dad both heard Daniel squeal with excitement saying "Chris is here!" (thats my oldest son to those who don't know)  Dad walked up to the car, to have the door shut as he got there, nevertheless dad opened the door and said Hello to Chris, whereby he got a sheepish "HI" My Mum says Daniels dad then got up to the car, ready to drive away, so she walked up and asked if she could speak to Chris, x put his head in the car and came back with "Chris says Hi" My Mum then said won't he even get out of the car ?? I don't even know his address, to which x told her that he didn't know it either, and hadn't even seen Chris since last April !!!!!! (More lies he told Mum at Christmas when she gave him the tin of sweets he hadn't seen Chris since August, then in January brought some things back for Thomas and Daniel after going to visit Chris) he is so thick he doesn't even remember his lies anymore !!!!!!!!!!!!

They then drove off, just like that.

My son, was too gutless to even get out of the car to acknowledge his grandparents.

At first I was really angry, my Mum has been in tears, she does not deserve that at all !!! Then I was just devastated and been in lots of tears myself, that was my son, my beautiful son, who once couldn't sleep without me stroking his cheek, who didn't care that I may have been in the house and certainly didn't care about his grandparents.

Now I am just so ashamed, how could my son do that

I am just so devastated

Re: I'm not Happy !

Hmm. I dont know, I dont get the situation, but I dont think I see hatred or contempt,I think I see fear. Could he be fearfull of how his father would act if he had contact with you? This I do see he did not challenge your Dad, he hid out of the way. He may be an Adult at 18yrs, but I still think there is a scared and confused little boy in that head.

Helen my thoughts. Most seeds planted grow, some grow quickly and shadow the little ones, but in time the little ones can find their way to the light, but it takes courage and energy. You found that courage and energy, I still think the child in Chris, has to find it within. You have a head start, but you planted a seed in him as your parents did in you, I do believe that it will find the light as you did, but it will take time and energy. I hope he finds the gift before his father destroy's him completely.

Luv,Winnie.xxxx

Re: I'm not Happy !

thankyou so much for that Winnie you just gave me a bucket load of hope !!!

I never saw anything malicious, nasty or mean in him as a child, far from it he would be the most loving and generous child ever. I just gotta  hope and pray that child can find his way out

Re: I'm not Happy !

 Yeah I heard about the situation with C from mum and can only imagin how upset she must have been over that!!! Poor old mum!!!!!!!! I can´t imagine how it must feel to you as a mother to have your child behave like that - fair enough to you as the mother but not to the grandparents or anyone else for that matter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I honestly don´t know what I would do I would be so fuming!!!!!!! But I am still roting for him in the sense that WHEN his dads money and lies come to an end he will come to his senses and return to you - I so sincerely hope for that!!!!!!!!!!!!

But we just have o keep on praying for him and hope for the best hey?

Hang on in there, we are coming over soooooooooon!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just can't wait until you get here !!!!!!!   It just can't come around fast enough for any of us !!!

Its all very confusing to be honest as a Mother, I just want him to come and give me a hug and say sorry for not listening to me but I also want to give him a darn good hiding for not restricting his anger to me !!!!!

Love to you all

Re: I'm not Happy !

Hi Helen

I feel your anger but you can not blame yourself for how others behave you have been a good mum to Chris but at the end of the day he is responsible for his own decisions and actions and it's a shame he has turned out this way but then hanging around with x probably hasn't helped.  Your poor mum and dad must be sooo upset because they don't deserve that kind of treatment but you can't protect them all.  Well at least Thomas got all his stuff and Daniel had a good day, I hope.  People like x always show their true colours because even with all the acting they can not hide who they really are and if Chris has turned out like him (I hope that is not the case) then he will have to learn from his own mistakes, I hope.  How did Daniel feel about this, have you had a chance to speak to him yet????

Hugs and kisses for you and your mum and dad

Thanks Maria

Daniel just says he felt really sad and knew his Nan would be upset. He thinks it was cruel.

Don't know what I will do if my son turns out like his dad

Re: I'm not Happy !

You can't think like that it will just eat you away, what he is and what he can be is down to him not to you or his dad he is old enough now to make his own decisions even if they are the wrong ones.  I'm glad Daniel had the sense to realise that it was horrible and cruel and that is your testimony to your great child rearing skills and don't forget Thomas and your DD who have all turned out to be well rounded individuals. As parents we can only hope our children don't make mistakes that will cause them pain, but we can only hope and be there for them when they need us.  And I know you will always be there for Chris when and if he ever comes round, which like you I hope he will one day.

Re: I'm not Happy !

 Dear Helen, my thoughts are so with you & your Mum & Dad.....I'm so sorry, what could have happened to your son to treat his grandparents in such a appalling manner .  Also that he acted this way in front of Daniel. Your dear  Mum must have been devastated and i can understand how broken hearted you must be feeling.

That so & so has alot to answer to and one day all his lies will come back to bite him, that's for sure.

My prayers are with you & your family.

Love Janice xxxxx

Re: I'm not Happy !

OH sweetie... What a sad time for you all.  There's no doubt that  your son acted shamefully in the situation.  Mind you, I doubt it would have helped that -x was there.  I wonder if it would have been a different story if your parents had run into him in the street on his own instead? 

I blame -x.  As the oldest child, he's spent more of his life being exposed to -x's way of behaving, and now he's made the mistake of cutting you out which was probably the one good family influence he had! 

This is all just so sad... And I feel so sad for you all.  I wish it could all improve...

I hope as well as you do he comes to His senses one day, and realise its not good to bottle all this up, and hurt the ones that love him..

Hope your mum feels better soon,, and your children are very lucky to have you both in their lives..

Re: I'm not Happy !

please nell dont be embarrased. unfortunately a lot of innocent people in the world have been hurt by "loved ones" and others that should be their "loved ones " but that doesnt mean that the person who is hurting the other is always correct

there are a lot of injustice in  the world sometimes (not always ) life  has a strange way of coming around hence" what goes around comes around"

its hard but you sometimes you have to "bide your time" tell other people "finally witness first hand and wake up to the truth"

its not easy as life is short but so many people in life have bitten their tongue as sometimes "injustice comes back to justice"

cheers annie

I honestly thought I had done a better job raising him then seeing what a nasty attitude he has right now. He was honestly the sweetest little boy you could ever imagine. I just don't understand where it all went wrong for him

Re: I'm not Happy !

hugs chicki. i feel for u i really do. All I can say ( and this is from my experience as "chris") he has been told the wrong things and made to believe lies. One thing is that one day he will get those "blinkers" off his eyes and see the truth and he will come running back.

HUGS and Love to ya Helen.

Re: I'm not Happy !

Oh Nell I really don't think you should feel ashamed.  You have done a great job as a mum.  He is your son and he is listening to the lies of his father and believing them.  He may be making bad choices but he is hurting too.  I think that the only thing to do is to just keep loving him and praying that he will see the truth and that is really all you can do.  I do feel for your parents too because you are right they don't deserve this - no-one does!!  I do hope Daniel is having a good time with him though and maybe he can be the voice of reason!

Re: I'm not Happy !

Oh that is so sad for your parents. But unfortunately we all take that risk when we bring up our kids - we can get it 100% right (I wish!) and still they can choose to act against that upbringing. But YOU have sown good seed, and even though at the moment all you can see are the weeds his dad has sown, keep praying about the good stuff and hopefully it will grow taller in the end. You did your best, and that's all you can do. And the other 3 are honouring their grandparents, which is better than some get. Focus on the good, dont let C get you into a downward spiral.

I just feel so ashamed right now that my own son could behave like that. I know he hates me and one day I pray that we will talk through that unjustified hatred but why hate his grandparents too

Re: I'm not Happy !

perhaps he doesnt like that they agree with you and therefore disagree with him about his dad? Im guessing that his dad doesnt like to be disagreed with? Even with the best upbringing in the world to counteract them, he still has his dad's genes to live with....

Im sure your parents wouldnt want you to feel shame about this? It's his behaviour, not yours. You cant take his punnishment (easier said than done) for shameful behaviour - he's a grown man. I just hate seeing you suffering like this!
