    Victory can you give us an example of how you have been misunderstood?

    I said to my sons gf.. 'If I didn't like you or you pee'd me off you would know about it, you don't need to read anything into what I say or do because I am confident enough to tell anyone what I do or do not like about them. Anyway, I think you are a nutter for putting up with my obnoxious son but you are quite welcome to him!'

    That cleared up ANY misunderstanding.

    Sounds like your sons gf is a drama llama.. let her get on with it she might grow up one day. As for hating you.. hate is a strong emotion but just a word.. and it is used to mean 'that person annoyed me/doesn't bow and scrape to my childish wants/said no/etc' ... my response to that would be.. 'oh.. wow'... and move on with my grown up life. I think you are maybe being a bit dramatic about it tbh.. she is a child, a large child granted, leave them to it.

    I don't understand what the actual issue is, sorry.

    What problems does she have with you? Could you maybe give an example?

    Yes I have been told she does drama/over react to things....

    In that case, you'll probably have to live with it. :(

    Try not to take it personally.

    She might settle down as she matures but there's no guarantee - some people are like that until the grave.

    I know you are right and I have to live with it and just see how it goes but it goes just fine and then drama then peace then drama.

    will own up to being hurt that it was said 'she hates me' I mean wow, anyone would question what has been said or done to come up with that one?

    If it was a post on Facebook, ignore it. It's not a deep, thoughtful assessment of your relationship - it's a throw-away comment, probably forgotten as fast as she typed it.

    If you can't let it go, could you have a quiet word with your son and say you're finding it difficult to welcome someone into your house who says she hates you?
