[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a woman and though my mom and I are close, she's closer to my brother, and much closer to his kids. Try and remember that what you're imagining would not have been a guarantee if you had a girl, and isn't out of reach with your boys.[/quote] This, and I would even venture to say that your longing for a specific mother-daughter relationship likely would have inhibited closeness with an actual daughter because she would have felt frustrated by your specific expectations for your relationship. In much the same way that your longing for a daughter is currently inhibiting closeness with your sons. You have to embrace the family you have. Comparing reality to a fantasy is a fools errand no matter what your fantasy looks like. Create closeness with your actual kids and let go of the imagined closeness with your imaginary daughter.[/quote]
