[QUOTE="Shari, post: 452454, member: 1848"] difficult child 1 has come to terms with things with his father. They talk, but not much, and it doesn't weigh him down like his mom does. But, even when I was married to his dad, his dad had very little to do with difficult child. VERY little. And then, when his dad left, I think difficult child was about 13, and voluntarily left difficult child with me...(I was prepared to fight for him, but I didn't have to)...dad continued to live very close. He drove by our house nearly every day, but never stopped in. It was very visible that his dad's absence was by his dad's choice. Although difficult child's mom doesn't live far away (she has never lived more than 40 miles away from us - usually about 15), she wasn't "right here" where he could watch her ignore him like he did his dad. So that hope still lives for his mom, and my heart just breaks for him. While you know they have to come to terms on their own with things like this, it doesn't stop you from wishing you could just wave that wand and make it all better. [/QUOTE]
