[QUOTE="ML, post: 234706"] Welcome! My son has also gone through a divorce when he was young, around 3, he's 10 now and I am remarried. We've talked about it off and on over the years and I figured he was pretty much ok with things after all these years. Still waters run deep though. The other day in the car we were having a talk about why he felt unloved all the time. Specifically he swears his dad loves his friend "R" more than him because he lives with her mom (just as roommates). He was mad because he felt dad spent more money on her birthday gift. I said "manster, is it about money, would you feel loved if dad spent more money, please what is it? We love you so much, how can you not feel loved?" Do you know what he said? "yeah, you love me so much that a couple years after I was born you got a divorce" and started crying. Some of our kids are extremely sensitive, over the top so. It would help to find a therapist or someone that he feels comfortable enough to do more than grunt or shoulder shrug". I hope you find this board helpful on your journey to raise a difficult child.
