[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is obvious you are a great mom. Your boys are honest and working out their "issues" right in front of you and with you. Honestly, they seem to free to tell you anything, that is a sign you have nothing to worry about at all. Bio kids are just as hurtful at certain ages to their parents, and like to push the buttons. I get it you feeling are hurt, but you kept your calm, you reacted perfectly controlled. I admire you.[/quote]My impression, too.  Kids say things like this and my guess is that he'll feel differently as he grows older but you have to let him have his feelings now and not make it about you.  (at least when they're this age!)  You did great![/quote]Pp again.  This reminds me of my kid.  We went back to my home state for a memorial service for my aunt, one of the few people of the older generation left in my extended family. (My parents are dead.) I wanted dd to go because a lot of her cousins would be there and she needed to meet them and get to know them better.  However, it was also dd's 16th birthday that weekend.  Oh my you would have thought it was the most horrible thing in the world to have to go to a family event on her 16th birthday.  But I let her complain about it and didn't take it personally.  Although she overdid it at some point and I was, like, "okay, that's enough.  We've registered that your unhappy.  Zip it."  Anyway, ten years later as an adult she feels really guilty about complaining!  [/quote]
