[quote=Anonymous]My four year old nephew lives with his Dad who has full legal and physical custody. He sees relatives on his mom's side regularly, but only see his mom a few times a month for a few hours at that time, and during that time she does not interact with him much at all. He has no memory of her ever fixing him a meal, or reading him a story, or being alone with him. This is how it's been since he can remember, and until recently he has simply accepted the idea that all families are different, and that he has lots of people who love and care for him. But in the past few months he has realized that most children live with their mothers, either all the time or maybe half time if the parents are divorced. He is asking a tons of questions about mommies and whether other people's mommy's love them, etc . . . Has anyone helped a child make sense with this, or come to terms with it? [/quote]
