My ds and his girlfriend also seem to thrive on the negative and the more he attacks me while on the phone the more she seems to like it ... not realizing if things were ever to work out for them long-term that ugliness would eventually be passed on to her - then she may not think its such a good thing. She too thinks I am the "worst" as I won't give him everything or his way but -again- one day they will understand (hopefully) - hang in there and while sad he cried am glad he shared even if without words or logic so you can see the soft little boy that you so loved (and still do) growing up is still there - and he will return one day! I know my sweet guy is still there somewhere
