Yes, I think it does mean that the best thing for your son would be a dad... that you cannot and should not expect to be a mother and a father. And that, hopefully, the men will be out together, and you will not feel left out, you will feel honored that your H finds it important to do so. Besides, you and your D will want girly time, no? You would neither want nor expect your S to join you for a manicure or a facial, etc...
The book is about BEING a man... true to self, not what we think a man should be... and yes, we spend a lot of time emmasculating men, I've been guilty myself. But when the going gets tough, I want my boys to stand firm and fight, not high tail it and run... just as I wish my H would return and do.
It has nothing to do with what YOU can and cannot do as a woman, but everything to do with what a man needs and in his heart, wants.
Yes, this different, really...
Relax. Appreciate. Be calm. Laugh. Enjoy. Be secure. Be loving. Be loved. Don't personalize. Don't ASSume. Accept. Be grateful.
