[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 599771, member: 14557"] LOL, it could be, that I interpret it like that because it is, what I do. I was loved as a kid, but neither of my parents were responsible adults themselves and could or even wanted offer me much stability, consistency or 'normalcy.' I got some from my grandparents, but that only made me yarn more. I was still quite young, when I recognised my 'quest for white picket fence' and in this point I'm even able to laugh myself and feel sympathy for that need. Doesn't mean I still doesn't want it, both for myself and for my kids. Though I'm coming to terms with the fact, that it really quite isn't for difficult child and that he doesn't really even want it deep inside. He may want parts of it and he certainly tries to fit in at times, but I believe it will never really be for him. Not at least the brand we have. And I'm okay with it, mostly. I think my mother in law is some ways in the same quest I am. Coming from different direction, and likely with much more unfortunate emotional background than I, but in the end looking for same. I do have some sympathy for her. Doesn't mean I have to like how she behaves; or, frankly, even her. [/QUOTE]
