[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 634866, member: 1550"] I think that by the time they are 36, we have already gotten past seeing the baby in them and realize how much of an adult they are. I don't know if that's true for all, but it works for me. I thought of him as that little boy I used to rescue even in grammar school for a very long time. He was never a sweet boy, so I didn't have that memory, but he loved his mommy and he'd cuddle with me all the time, even after he'd done something awful to someone at school (which was often). He is still very attached to me and I love him dearly. I just see him as he is NOW (I try to live in the present) and I have already used up all the "mommy" i have for him. I am glad to be his Mother, an adult-to-adult, a loving support system for him and somebody who will give advice IF ASKED. But I refuse to be his mommy who bandages his knee when something doesn't go his way and he freaks out, demands and threatens. I just can't do it anymore. I have, in my opinion, evolved from a mommy to a mother with him. [/QUOTE]
