[quote=Anonymous]I know you are crushed for your DS but some of that may be you projecting your own emotions from childhood on him. Remember - his dad isn't a primary caretaker. Your DS is growing up in your household, in your care, and is experiencing a very different childhood than you did. The stakes aren't as high for him - he was upset and wanted to leave, but it won't necessarily be damaging to him because now he gets to go home to a place where he doesn't experience that kind of conflict and discomfort in a daily basis. I would just talk to him about his experience - help him sort it out and be a sounding board by validating and supporting his feelings about what he saw. Because he is raised by you, he is able to recognize the behavior as mean and something that makes him uncomfortable, and that's a good thing.[/quote]
