[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would develop an explanation that aligns with the true issue with his mom. But isn't lurid or rude.[/quote] I am not sure what a lurid or rude explanation would be. But a true explanation might be “She doesn’t like being your mommy.” “She didn’t fall in love with you when you were a baby because her brain was sick.” I can’t really come up with a way that isn’t hurtful. [/quote] You need to separate your feelings about his mother from everything you say to him about her. [/quote] I know that. That is literally why I am here asking. Because if I followed the direction to explain the “true” reason it would come out like the above, and those are obviously not the right things. He has siblings who also live with Dad but who get a lot more attention from her, so the “she can’t take care of any child” explanation doesn’t work. [/quote]
