The final stages...withdrawal to acceptance

[kissak]

I wonder about my H's childhood with his own mother. She was an alcoholic and his parent divorced because of that when he was very young, maybe 4. He was raised by his dad and stepmom (who has always been very hard on him, favoring her own children more). He would only see his mom 2 months out of the year. She didnt really come back into his life until we had our son back in 2001. Now, she has all of a sudden disappear again. We havent heard from her in almost 2 years. I know there are stories of him looking for food at neighbors houses for him and his brother when he was just a kid because she would be out with some guy or just passed out drunk. I wish he would open up to the counselor about all of this. Alot he wont even talk about or I wonder if he even remembers. His stepmom as told me most of what I know about his real mom.

I feel like this has alot to do with things.
