[QUOTE="witzend, post: 191072, member: 99"] I think maybe the lesson husband could learn (if he were willing to try) would be that when you hide "something" from your childhood instead of dealing with it, it comes back to haunt you in a negative way in your adult life. ie: not being prepared to deal with confronting shortcomings in our children without having a big blow-up. I have to admit, my husband has no childhood, so far as I know. He swears he doesn't remember anything other than a few vague details until he was out of the house in college. It's just never spoken of. [i]His[/i] way of dealing with it is more difficult than your husband's in a way, because he very successfully does not deal with it. He just hides. The rest of the world sees it as "mellow peaceful husband". Our children and I see it as "husband sticking his head in the ground so no one can move forward and better themselves" or "husband ignoring reality." Good luck. [/QUOTE]
