[QUOTE="Mom2oddson, post: 339533, member: 65"] Reading this thread makes me realize how lucky I am. My ex left the week before easy child was born. To give stability to easy child's life and to give him a male role model, I moved back in with my parents. That decision forced changes in our lives that I don't think would of happened if I hadn't moved back in as an adult and mother. My parents watched me raise easy child and would ask questions about why I was doing things a certain way. That lead me to tell them that I wanted easy child to know that I loved him no matter what because I never felt that way. My parents were raised in the style of "tell your kids when they screw up, but they should know that you love them without a word". And I remember my Dad telling me that they raised me the way that they were raised. That they didn't know that there was another way. So we were able to have a heart-to-heart about how I always that he hated me and that I could never do anything to make him happy. My poor Dad cried because that was so far off from the truth. I hung the moon in his world. Now, my Dad is one of my best friends!! I so wish we could of had this all through my life, but I'm very grateful that I've had it for the last 20 years. I still want to read this book. I showed the link to a friend and she has ordered the book. I get to read it after her. Now all I need is the companion book that would show husband how to disconnect with his mother. No matter how many times she rips his heart out and stomps on it, he has to keep that relationship with her because she's is mom and he has to. [/QUOTE]
