[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 694137, member: 1550"] I think it's your house/your rules. However you did in my opinion miss a chance to express how much your son meant to you when he compared himself to your mother That would have broken my heart and I would have instantly softened me as I told him he was first in my heart to anyone (but that is truly how I feel about my kids...never lie). In my heart, only my husband is loved like my kids. I would have addressed the adoption as many adopted people feel lesser than. "You are the child I want, and no other one " And I would have brought up that my mother had hurt me. I am very honest with my kids I always have been. No matterlr how they behave (other than snubbing me for over ten years), they are my heart and soul and I always tell them this. To me that would have been an important moment. But thats me. I openly express my love of them all the time. We all do. These are just some thoughts, not criticism. Your son in my opinion, especially because adopted and your troubles together since his teens, needs to know that you love nobody more than him, unless you do. And even if you do in my opinion he needs to hear you adore him...that you love him dearly and that you always will, no matter what. Jmo. Hope you are having a peaceful night. [/QUOTE]
