Hi nannyger. I’m in a similar boat as you. I’ve had to take a break from my son. He’s an emotionally abusive and manipulative drunk and it was really starting to take me down. Although not talking to him is difficult for me as well. I start to forget why I chose to do it and have to think about it, then I remember why. He goes after me I’m particular because I’m usually the nicest to him, but he’s not nice to me.
May I ask how you’re coping with not speaking to your son? Do you have any tips?
