I never tried to be his mom, because he already had one! At first, we talked about everything, because he was afraid to talk to his dad. Then with his permission, I tried to talk to his dad several times. His dad said he was listening but he never gave him the attention he needed. All he ever did was try to buy his love, because that is what they were used to. It did not matter what I said after a while, because now it was the both of them against me. He could do whatever he wanted when he came over and I just had to deal with it. After a while, I just gave up. The disrespect and the games were getting to be too much. I did everything I could to make them happy, but in the end, I made myself unhappy. It was time to ask them to leave! That is just what I did.
