[QUOTE="DDD, post: 209936, member: 35"] I understand wanting to "make it all better" but, from experience, I can tell you that I don't believe it is possible to do that. easy child/difficult child has had husband as his daily loving role model. At 2 he even asked husband if he could call him Daddy as he "was" his Daddy. (smart kid..lol) difficult child has had a more distant role model in husband because GFGmom kept him with her most of the time. He loves husband and knows that he is what a Dad is suppose to be. BUT......the fact is that neither of them have their own real Dad to love and they both have been hurt by that fact. Sadly..it is a fact. in my humble opinion the key to his future is in his Mom's choices. She sounds loving and devoted and dependable. If she is a wonderful Mom for him he will feel safe. With the supplemental love from you and your husband and her parents, he will get along fine. I hope she meets a caring man to share their life so they can "be a family" but if not...I'm sure he will still be fine. Just be your sweet self and he will benefit. Hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
