[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 622643, member: 1514"] GN....Im late to this, sorry. I agree its your mom showing love. My entire life my dad showed he loved me by being the best provider he could possibly be. In his mind, money meant he loved me. He was raised by a father who barely supported his family and only dropped by to make another sibling for him. He was determined that he would not be that man. And he wasnt. There were many times during my life that I would have gladly traded all my perks for time with him. I did finally figure all this out when I was an adult...lol. As a kid I didnt realize why he did what he did. In the end we did get much closer. We always said I love you but that was hard for him because he wasnt raised that way. Im sorta sad about what DDD says about our "things" but I know its true. Even though I had a very difficult life with my mother, I treasure everything I have that was hers. I dont think my kids will feel that way but Im trying to raise Monkey to want my things. [/QUOTE]
