[QUOTE="DDD, post: 234878, member: 35"] ML, that is exactly what I was trying to share. My children and I have always been close and they felt comfortable sharing bad thoughts and feelings with me anytime BUT it took years before they let me know how much pain they felt from the divorce. Our easy child/difficult child has lived with us his whole life AND has had unlimited access to his Mom for the most part. His substance abuse counselors told us that the separation and sense of rejection that he got from his bioparents were huge factors in his poor teen choice making. It's really important that the kids have someone other than a parent to share their [I]true feelings[/I] with so they don't have to tiptoe around the custodial parent in fear of hurting them or "adding to their stress".
