Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois
Emotional Distress
My son and his childhood male friend have caused me so much deliberate and intentional angiush that I believe it is criminal. At times I feel push to the breaking point. Their evil tone, demeanors, and outright lies to whomever will listen has costed me two grandsons, and relationships with the mothers of those two children. Around 5 times now, I have been dismissed out of my son's life after him needing my help, my money, or just plain to be mean and nasty. ]
What can I do about this 15-20 year emotional stress they have subjected me too. Both are evil and just plain mean and nasty (although they wear masks), what can I do to protect myself against them. (I just cut my son out of my life after countless of dismissals from him).
What recourse do I have? This childhood friend hated his own mother and I didn't know it, until they had been friends for 3 years.
Now they are grown men, that has destroyed my branch of the family tree. They have destroyed any kind of hope of me being apart of my grandchildren's lives and they have just plain slandered me.
They are both educated and professional men.
Do I have any recourse?
Thank you!

Re: Emotional Distress
This is not a legal question. You don't get along with your son. Stop talking to him and lead a separate life. There is no magical "make my son by nice to me" pill.
Re: Emotional Distress
There is no legal remedy available to deal with your emotional anguish. Lawyers will be helpful if there is property involved or if you are trying to get some specific action from your son and his friend (such as moving out of your home if they lived with you).
Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress is the legal remedy you seem to be referring to, but you are not describing any actions that really seem to fit that tort action.
As the other attorney suggested, you should cease contact with your son and try to live your life.
