[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been a single Mom, now remarried, Mom to my 14 year old for a little more than 10 years. His Dad is a full blown narc, dry alcoholic, convicted of DV and spent a good part of at least 6 years torturing and always manipulating my child. My tactic was to always stay the course. Be me, correct when I hear him say wrong things. E.g. Dad says his ex girlfriend was psycho. Well, son, your Dad also participated in that dynamic. It wasn't just her. He loves his Dad but in no way wants to be him. Every choice he's made, whether he realizes it or not, is to follow my path. He's pursuing my profession, wants to go to my Alma mater, etc. I support him, love him and am always non-judgmental while giving helpful advice. This didn't happened overnight. Play the long game. Be the stable parent. Correct the propaganda he hears but show no emotion. [/quote] Why would you have a child with this man?[/quote]
