Still moving in a new direction

[BrightFuture]

Hey, mleigh, just catching up on your thread. It sounds like the B-day party was a big fun. I wonder if the “news” were delivered to your MIL and prompted a jealous response. You handled this very well. I like the idea of parenting classes or some counseling. I also like the idea of giving your S some responsibilities in the house. My son had a few when he was 9, including cleaning his bathroom, and a couple of others.

It sounds to me that you are also rewriting the history in a way, not? Not sure what to tell you about detachment vs. done. Having these thought myself. So confusing.

Can’t wait to hear about the counseling sessions.
