Oh Ur, I KNOW you have done right by your son. Don't question it for a minute.
My mom gave into the fear. She worried about being to live the lifestyle she wanted, with three kids in tow. She felt she NEEDED a man. And, when the first Knight in Shining Armor came to the door, she handed him the keys to the castle. Turned out, however, he was a very sick man.
She GAVE him her business, literally changed the name of the business to accommodate his ego, gave him permission to parent her children, told us we HAD to call him DAD. She still forces her influence with him. She's like a little girl who needs a Daddy.
You are a very wise and wonderful woman. The fact that your son will tell you how proud and grateful he is, well, that speaks for itself.
I know my mom did the best she could. I know she hates herself for not being the woman we needed her to be. I'm sorry for that. I really am. I intend to do things differently and trust God will fill in the gaps financially for me when I get too scared to go it alone.
God Bless,
Heather
