[QUOTE="klmno, post: 491115, member: 3699"] You're probably onto something, M, about there being an underlying problem in this area. Not that it's your fault- it's just good that you picked up on it and see that somehow, it probably is effecting your son. You are a great person to seek help in that area for yourself and for the benefit of your son. I wish you much perserverance and good luck thru that journey! We bio-moms struggle with things like that so I really have to say I admire you for being able to see how your own characteristics effect your relationship with your son, being willing to admit that, and being willing to do something to try to improve it. Like I say, that is hard even for us bio-parents. And it isn't just you- I think most, if not all of us, have our own past burdens and of course they effect us presently, our characteristics, then ultimately, the type of parent we are with our kids. Kudos to you for asking and seeking what you can do instead of just laying all J's problems at the blame of someone else. It's so easy to blame bio-moms or other parents but as I said before, we ALL have our pasts contributing to who we are today and there is no such thing as a perfect parent. The GOOD parents are the ones who hang in there and do the best they can and strive to always do what is in the child's best interest. in my humble opinion, the bad ones are the ones who walk and say they can't do anything to help it because it was "the other parent's" fault. Also, I get the fact that you don't know which side (good or bad, for lack of better term) is going to win out in your son but right now, he's exhibiting both and is still very young and struggling. For those reasons, I think I'd be very cautious and aware where the pet is concerned. Not paranoid- but on top of it. [/QUOTE]
