Quote: Now I see that your son is in dire need of getting straightened out before he gets any further cemented in these ways. He's being groomed to fail at relationships himself because he could become the abuser, having that role model he has.
This has been a really tough day. I'm sitting here crying as I type because I'm just scattered. I'm still feeling the effects of my crappy behavior today and I just don't know where to focus my energy....I never dreamed that having a marriage and a family would be this kind of difficult, I just never did. These books that I read, refer back to childhood over and over and I think of S4 and D2 and it's hard to believe that their little minds are making connections on interpersonal relationships and that we're failing them. I keep thinking to myself that I barely remember anything before the age of 5, so if I can get this all to turn around, maybe they'll never remember when times were tough.....god willing.
NY, your consistent support means a lot to me.
