Rose, I have a feeling that your younger son will also learn from all this...no more bullying mom.

You've set yourself free, Rose, and the world is all yours.

Rose,
I am glad you had a better day, and your youngest son is changing for the better. Hopefully he sees no more bullying mom, or he will have to pay for it. He is still a teen and will act out but hopefully not like he was.
I think he was acting the way he was to stay on the good side of his brother.
A new day and a new life for you a better one.
Hugs

oh, I forgot to mention, as my sister and I were doing my hair, she said is that your lawn mower going...sure enough my youngest went out and mowed the grass, I didn't ever have to ask.

Then he commented that my hair looked nice. Poor kid, I think he has been living with the stress of his brother and more than I knew.

He may have also learned that Mom loves him, but won't do everything for him or take him being abusive!
Progress is progress.. enjoy the moment!

wow Rose... you are doing so well right now. I know it is sad when you have to let you child go but you did what needed to be done and you still have the younger one to watch over like Elana said maybe your younger son will learn from this as well.

Oh Rose,
It all sounds so nice and serene. Especially the part about the youngest, I bet he'll appreciate his mom and all she's been going through. I have two sons, also, and I never realized when they were younger, (they're 5 years apart in age) how much the old son dominated the youngest.

Then, when they became older, the youngest kind of looked at his older brother as a role model and heaven knows, he wasn' a good one!

Here's hoping your son blooms on his own. He sounds like a good egg.


Hugs
