Mom says she is surrounded by disrespect
Dear Amy: My 18-year-old son (who is in high school) has had a girlfriend for the past year. She has placed a huge wedge between us.
When they first started dating, she would come to my house and barely acknowledge my presence and either hang all over him or retreat to his bedroom with him.
When I told him that her behavior was rude and unacceptable, he told me that she has an anxiety disorder and that she would no longer come to my home because I am too hostile to her.
As a result, I never see my son. He goes to her house every day after school.
When he is home, he is critical of his family and is constantly communicating with her.
When he is with her he ignores my calls or texts.
Now he has sleepovers with her at my ex-husband's house. He wants to go to a hotel with her.
I have made it quite clear to both my son and his father that this is not acceptable. I am ignored.
Her parents are fine with her sleeping over at his father's house.
I feel disrespected by my ex, and also by her parents.
