[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 503523, member: 1514"] That is so darned true. Lordy I wish I had read that early on in my journey with my son. I had to basically come to my own knock down, drag out fight on the front porch with him when I decided he would not ever tell me who I was nor how he could compare us to each other. We were not the same people and he had no clue how I was raised because I had protected him from my past. That may or may not have been the right decision but it was the one I chose to make. I didnt think my kids needed to know all the difficult things I had been through as a child and by whom. I didnt want to taint their relationship with their grandmother, though I kept a close eye on them. I had to learn that No is a complete sentence. Cory didnt like it. He tested me many times. It is much easier for me to stick to this with him out of the home. [/QUOTE]
