Heartbroken (and hungry)
Yesterday afternoon my son (25) un-invited me last minute via text message from having Thanksgiving dinner together.
No reason, no explanation.
And my heart broke into a million pieces.
Aside from the heartbreak, it also meant that I didn't eat yesterday.
In fact, I haven't eaten for almost three days now (other than instant chicken bouillon, that is).
If you have any Thxgiving dinner leftovers that you don't want, I would love to have them.
Even if it's only mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce.
Anything, really (other than pork or shellfish, allergic).
If it's not too far from where I am parked, I can maybe meet you halfway (very low gas, but maybe I could go on a bus?).
Plz leave me a message, I will call you back.
Thank you!!!
And if you want to have a little background, here it is:
On Wed morning I stood in line for 5 hrs for free Thxgiving food (at a church), and then dropped off frozen turkey & all the trimmings for Thanksgiving Dinner at the house where my son currently lives (a friend of his).
Why did he un-invite me? I have no idea.
But he has a new GF of 2 months (who seems nice, I met her once, briefly, a month ago), and my son might have been embarassed to have a social get-together with me.

although nobody knows - about six months ago I had to move into my car (after several of my clients didn't pay me).
And over the past few months I have been using up my little savings.
That's why I don't have any money right now.
At least not until I get paid, anyway.
<><><><><><><>
Up until a month ago I even paid most of my son's bills (phone, storage etc) - together with my own bills.
Then a month ago his new GF had an emergency: she had to get back from Palm Springs to Long Beach for work.
So I drove 2.
5 hrs out to Indio, picked them up and drove her to Long Beach.
Right now I feel very hurt, and I think I deserve better from my son.
I'm sure, he knows that I went hungry last night.
And him not even bother to call me to un-vite me, and explain.

that feels like he was afraid to tell me this in person.
I was so upset, that for the first time in 26 yrs I have now blocked my son's phone number.
Am I being too sensitive here? Am I wrong for feeling hurt by his behaviour? I don't know.
