It's funny, my wife talked to me last night about needing to widen our driveway to be able to fit our kids car once she can drive. It is funny that as we go through this, conversations like this still seem to envision me or at least my car still being in the driveway. Why do you think they do this?
Because we are still considered a "co-parent and friend" to them and their current non romantical feelings about us. We are a utility in essence to their self proclaimed "independence" away from us. It is a rebellious spirit. Hence "have your cake and eat it too" They are deceived and guided by their feelings and thoughts of confusion. Or they are merely operating on old habits of reliance. As punitive as it may seem, we need to withdraw our love and our reliance upon us from them, while still keeping it. Make sense?
