[QUOTE="keista, post: 452248, member: 11965"] ((((HUGS)))) Yes, ALL kids want (and deserve) "a mom". Unfortunately not all of them get a decent one, but they still hope and hope and hope. My BFF sank into deep depression after her alcoholic mom died. While the woman was alive, BFF was still able to HOPE that someday they could have a decent relationship, but once she died, that hope died with her. BFF was in her late 20s at the time. Sounds more like wife is looking for validation, than advice. She's using her head and being smart, so I really see nothing wrong with you validating the fact that it's OK for her not to go and CERTAINLY OK for her not to allow the baby to go. If difficult child wants to "try again" he's got to do it on his own. As much as his wife doesn't want HIM to open himself up to the heartache, he does have to go through this process to find his own acceptance of things as they are. [/QUOTE]
