There was a time, not too long ago, when I created drama every where I went. It was as if it was the only way I could feel emotion. It was very unpleasant for people to be around me.

Fortunately, my depression treatment has helped me not be such a drama freak. I no longer thrive on the drama I create, or the drama other people create. In fact in the face of drama I can usually keep myself out of it.

Imagine my surprise when I got I drama filled message from my daughter-in-law, who I have never met.  It was about my son.

I have briefly written about my son, and how he seems to be having some real issues right now. One of the things he does, for a reason I have not figured out, is flat out lie about things that have to do with his family here. For example, he told his bride that we had no desire to ever meet her or her family, which prompted her to agree to a quick wedding.

A few weeks ago, I had written here how I have chosen not to contact him anymore, and leave it up to him to make the moves.  He has been so disrespectful to me in text messages and in phone conversations, that I had just reached my end point on dealing with it.  I figured if he contacted me in his own time, that he would not be so disrespectful.

So back to the drama filled message. I was told that I had given up on my son, that I was selfish, and there was an out right lie about why his bio-dad and I divorced.  For all of his life, I never told my son the real story about why his bio-dad and I divorced because it would put his bio-dad in a bad light.  I never wanted my son to know about the bad behavior of my ex-husband.  I was very upset when I read the message, and I talked about it with my counselor today.  I told her about my idea of doing a post about my son and all of that history and she thought it was a good idea.  I will be working on it over the next few days.

My daughter-in-law has figured out that my son has been lying to her a great deal and it is causing some huge problems in their marriage.  They have only been married since the end of December.

I think I handled the drama better than usual.  I did not let it consume me and I did not go off the deep end.  It is just very tiring.
