LH - I know you’re right. ———- I’m beginning to lose track of the times my daughter starts to cry. She was so strong upfront, almost to the point i wondered how she was so ready to accept it all. Obviously she was in denial. I’m losing track of the times I hold her as she cries. It’s heartbreaking. It makes me so angry.
Two of my children did not react emotionally. One of them did. He was angry. Guess who is the most healthy now?
Keep loving and holding your kids. Validating the way they feel is the most important thing you can do as a parent. Nothing to fix, just understand. Your relationship with your kids will be stronger.
"My mom does not know me at all". This was a statement from my middle child. I know things about him I wish I didn't but he is open with me and my lady, and I am glad he shares things with us. We are the safe ones to talk to. Keep being the safe one.
