I must say TY. It is nice to read from so many voices of reason.I am starting to feel like I am not so abnormal. I have so much guilt weighing me down because I can't stand my ss8. He is just a child why is it so hard. My ss8 can't stand me. I have never had a child dislike me so much. It is so sad. For three years now I have tried so hard to have some type of relationship with him. I honestly think that he believes it would be disloyal to his mother for him to even be friends with me. He is his BMs only child and he is so spoiled. He is overweight, out of shape and so friggen whinny.
