@Bunniekins yeah it's looking lovely outside here as well, I think I may bathe in the harsh light of day, I mean I'll stand in the sun for 5 minutes or as long as my pale white skin can take it. Gotta love pommy scottish genes

@Bunniekins I'm sorry that's happened to you, if this was said after you've mentioned your concerns with his drinking it could be a case of gaslighting, if it was mentioned without any reference to his drinking it could be preparation for some manipulation. I know we give our children the benefit of the doubt and side with them over others, but it doesn't mean they aren't capable of manipulating us (I won't mention my kids and all I allowed them to destroy, by siding with them and believing their lies and manipulation). I'm not saying your son is, but just keep it in mind as a possibility.
There are a few things here, has he ever said this before? have any of your other kids said this before? could some of these "imagined" things be things your son has caused and feels guilty about, and is trying to alleviate that guilt or is trying to get away for his or others actions? and why decide to bring it up now?

@Sparky79 no i havent addressed his drinking yet. i was talking about my sister who imagines events in the past which never happened and he said something like 'mum you do the same thing". i was taken aback and he said on a score my sister would be a gold, my middle son would be a silver and i would be a bronze.
