TheStillOfNight: If I may ask, what happened exactly?
Well I went there...and he says in front of his friends..."What are you doing here?" "Go home, I dont want you here". He lives with his gramps 5 minutes away because I work evening shifts.

How old is said son, and was there drink involved?

estate: Sounds a bit extreme!! What happened to upset you so much?
Extreme??? Ya........major. I was a good mom and I didnt deserve this but I think he thinks I abandoned him......by GIVING HIM THE CHOICE to live with gramps (which was a bad idea) gramps just turned him against me. Jealousy thing? 2nd chance at being a parent thing? Anyways, my family is completely torn apart now.

Certainly doesn't sound like much fun for you!! Why would he try and show you up, are there underlying circumstances which may lead to him acting like that?

Everytime I go there, the whole house smells like pot.....yet grampa doesnt believe me??? wtf is wrong with him???? I love my son with all my heart, I made a bad decision letting him live with gramps because I wasnt there for him because of my work. Now........my relationship is nil........gramps turned him against me. :( Sounds crazy??? ya??? well it is.........and it should never have been this way.

estate: Ahh, the big knowledgeable 18 y/o, I think most of us tried that attitude out on our folks eh!! "I'm an adult now, and I don't need you" I certainly did.
Its worse than that though.......his friends were even wondering wtf? when he was being so rude to me.

I think the whole incident was just a peer thing...had to look cool in front of "the guys". I bet deep down inside he felt bad about what he said and will probably never admit it, but I am sure he didn't mean it.
911gypsy: Gtamps gives him money........so I guess gramps is???? In fact, he smokes it so much Im pretty sure he is dealing too. He doesnt have a job.
Smoking it is bad enough (16 years and counting for me), but if he is dealing it, that is a whole other story that will only end one way, bad! Very bad!
Every dealer I ever knew (I knew a LOT of dealers) has either been busted, beaten up repeatedly, or had someone steal everything off them leaving them owing a lot of money to someone they cannot come up with.

Nope......he was being a complete A HOLE.......he meant it. He somehow thinks I abandoned him, yet Ive told him MANY times to come live back with me and he refused. You wannna know why? Gramps gives his $$$$ all the time, buys him whatever he wants, no supervision etc......no wonder he turned out the way he did!

I'm sorry you are feeling this way. I think a good rest is in store and then wake up fresh. Start working on a plan ?? I hope you can find a way to rebuild your relationship with your son. I have no advise, I raised myself....sort of.
Oh, I was a big dope head, from pot to the hard stuff. I eventually wised up and stopped. I think I turned out okay, and I even love my mother after all I went through as a child.
