Are Woman and men really from different planets?

My son was paying me one of his twice a month visits which has dropped from his once a week visit. I usually cook him a big meal, and he does a few things around my condo for me that I've been unable to do by myself. I have the coolest son in the world. Yes, I might be a little bias, but we have always had a good relationship since he was a little boy. We spent a lot of time together watching movies, collecting his favorite action figures, playing board games, just to name a few things. As he got older we would go to concerts together, and he would recommend bands for me to listen to. We found it rather easy to talk to each other about the things that have been going on in our lives. We seem to enjoy each others company. Well, up until his last visit.

 My 28 year old son has turned into, well you know, one of those guys that comes from Mars. I know what you are thinking. You are just now noticing this? Okay, maybe I've been in denial and I never wanted to see my son as being a typical male, but the littlest things I did were starting to annoy him. He wouldn't return my text messages right away, and sometimes not at all. His mind seems to be else where during his visits, and they have become far and few in between. Has my son who I have adored his whole life turned into the type of man I wouldn't give the time of day to? No, of course not, but it does make me see the differences even more so that men and woman are really from different planets. How we deal and react to stress, depression, anger, or anything else for that matter can be so different, which usually causes us to misunderstand each other.

So I went through my small collection of old books that I've saved over the years because I thought they were good reads, and I still had my book edition of  Men Are From Mars, Woman Are From Venus, and began reading it again. The first time I read it was to understand my husband at the time, and this time would be to understand his off spring. I am some what pleased to say my son isn't really annoyed by me after all, and I am assuming all the wrong things. Well, I'm suppose to be a little annoying I am his mother. The male martian and female venusian really are from different planets, and if we just take the time to understand each other I guarantee it will all make sense, and the planets will align once again...Haha probably not. A girl can dream though.

The end of my abusers life.
